Princess 300 1963

This lovely, blue and cream, Princess 300, from 1963, is in superb overall condition. It is a beautiful colour combination and simply gorgeous. This typewriter has its original colouring--it has not been repainted. It has been fully restored, cleaned, lubricated and adjusted and has a new platen roller.  It is wonderful to use and absolutely lovely to look at! A lovely combination of inspired mid-century industrial design and German engineering! 
This is a fully-working--as original--typewriter. The only thing that you have to do is sit down, put paper on the roller and start typing. This Princess 300 comes with the "Acme" lead certification seal attached to the typewriter under the keyboard. This seal permanently identifies this typewriter as a genuine Acme-restored typewriter and provides for a 6-month mechanical warranty at no charge. (See below for details.) We guarantee safe delivery and provide careful and attentive after-purchase advice and assistance from the date of purchase to the end of eternity to ensure your full satisfaction.
We have restored dozens of these Princess typewriters over the years and I am always impressed by the overall high quality, mechanical design and the smoothness with which they operate. As an example, the ribbon colour selector switch on the left is as cool as they come. When you switch to red or no-colour a little colour-block comes into the glass window above the switch. Tabs are set (and removed) at the touch of a finger with the special key on the right side.
This typewriter is in excellent cosmetic condition and working perfectly. The gold Princess logo is bright and shiny. All the chrome is in fine condition. The keytops are in excellent condition with no noticeable fingernail scratching. The painted finish only has the tiniest of blemishes and these few are generally located at the back side of the typewriter.  As mentioned, it has been fully cleaned inside and out, and has a new ribbon. 
Mechanically this Princess is in top working condition. Everything works as it should and as originally designed. The rubber on the platen roller has been professionally renewed. The paper feed rollers are in excellent condition and appropriately soft. 
The lovely, blue case is in beautiful condition. The hasp works perfectly.  The interior lining is overall in very good condition with only light wear. The exterior of this lovely faux calf-leather case is in excellent, original condition with only very minor signs of wear and usage. 
The typeface is a lovely Pica (10 cpi). As compared to many Princesses I see for sale, this has the original QWERTY keyboard common to English language writers. It has accents needed to write in other European languages, too. 
This Princess 300 typewriter will be shipped via DHL to reduce the possibility of damage during shipment. Shipping costs for some countries can be very high but buyers from Canada, especially, and other countries can contact me after purchase to discuss ways of reducing shipping costs. I can refund the difference if we decide on an alternative shipping method.
Based on the serial number (345377) this machine was manufactured in 1963.

ACME TYPE MACHINE COMPANY
Acme Type Machines is dedicated to the conservation and restoration of fine vintage typewriters from the era of fine, modern typewriter design and manufacture: the 1930s through the early 1970s. We have a carefully earned reputation for fine machines, excellent conservation and restoration, attentive customer service and good after-sale care and advice.
Our gallery of typewriters has clients in the United States and Canada, Australia and China, Morocco and Brunei, Finland and Japan and may places in-between. Our clients include many important collectors of typewriters, screenwriters and novelists, European and American interior designers, film art and production design departments and the casual--but discriminating--individual.
The aesthetic that drives us at Acme Type Machines is that of the museum conservator: to preserve our "typewriter" cultural heritage in a way that retains the integrity of the original object, restoring its mechanical components to their original utility, conserving the original cosmetic condition, and taking account of any historical aspects of its use or ownership.
All of our typewriters, except in some very exceptional circumstances (carefully noted in the description), are ready to use in the same manner as when they were originally manufactured and purchased. Some of our clients are screenwriters and novelists, using our typewriters on a daily basis. Some are collectors, rarely using the machines to type, who appreciate the meticulousness with which our typewriters are conserved.
Typewriters from Acme Type Machines are not inexpensive. The number of mechanical tests and adjustments, the attention to the cleaning process, small repairs etc., require hours of time and careful and professional work.
We find our typewriter treasures throughout Europe and the process of acquiring these fine machines can require long and delicate negotiations. Protected shipment and transportation to our gallery and workroom adds expense, as well.
After a typewriter is sold to a client, it undergoes a final testing, cleaning and inspection. The typewriter is then carefully prepared with protection on the platen-knobs, between the ribbon-cover and the body, and on the carriage return lever and other vulnerable parts. The escapement is protected by immobilising the carriage. The typewriter and case are wrapped in a layer of protective, strong bubble-wrap which is then placed in a carton box of double thick cardboard (carton). Shipment is made with padding--on six sides--of foam-rubber and fitted styrofoam.
Our goal is to provide a wonderful, working, vintage typewriter--usable, beautiful and aesthetically interesting--to your home or office, film studio or art department.This lovely PRINCESS 300 is a pleasure in every way. So smooth to type with, so beautiful to look at. The combination of cream-coloured keys and ribbon cover with the red body gives this typewriter a retro look with a very modern flair.
