1965 Princess 300 Typewriter—2-tone Gray and Cream

This lovely, gray and cream, Princess 300, from 1965, is in superb condition. It is a beautiful colour combination and simply gorgeous overall. These typewriters are normally found in the blue and cream colour scheme; the dove-gray two-tone is quite uncommon. This typewriter has all original colouring. It comes with the original factory-guarantee and original user handbook, and has been fully restored, cleaned, lubricated and adjusted.  It is wonderful to use and absolutely lovely to look at! It comes with its two original metal ribbon spools and the gorgeous case. It is a lovely combination of inspired mid-century industrial design and German engineering!  This portable typewriter looks as handsome standing on your desk at home as it does on the terrace of your hotel or holiday home.
The keyboard is QWERTY with keys for French, German and other European languages. It comes with a new ribbon so you can start typing immediately. The typeface is a beautiful Pica with 10 characters to the inch. Note: This typewriter is also available with a QWERTZ (German) keyboard.
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.

The platen is smooth and clean. The paper feed rollers are in excellent condition and appropriately soft. The chrome parts are in beautiful condition.
