1938 Royal Speed King Typewriter – Black Enamel, Crinkle Trim & Rare Vogue Typeface
Sleek, stylish, and undeniably rare — this 1938 Royal Speed King is a true standout. Finished in a deep black enamel body with matching black crinkle trim, this machine is a beautiful example of late-1930s industrial design. But what truly sets it apart is what lies beneath the keys: the incredibly rare and highly sought-after Vogue typeface.
Vogue is a modern, art-deco-inspired typeface that gives your words a clean, distinctive flair — making this typewriter ideal for both casual daily typing and creative writing sessions. Smooth, responsive, and satisfying to use, the Speed King was built for performance — and this one lives up to its name.
This typewriter has been fully serviced, fitted with a fresh black/red ribbon, and is ready to type from the moment it arrives. It’s not just a working machine — it’s a collector’s piece, one that will only become more desirable as examples like this grow harder to find.
Whether you're a writer, a design enthusiast, or a collector hunting for that special machine, this Royal Speed King delivers on all fronts: rare form, exceptional function, and timeless style.
