Princess 300 1962

This Princess 300, from 1962, is in nearly perfect condition. The colour is all original and has not be over-painted. This typewriter has been fully restored, cleaned, lubricated and adjusted. It is a lovely combination of inspired mid-century industrial design and German engineering! Princess typewriters are very highly regarded by top collectors and by users as well, for the brilliantly engineered mechanics, the careful manufacture and the solidity and durability of the machine.
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 green body gives this typewriter a retro look with a very modern flair. The gold Princess logo is shiny and bright as new. 
This typewriter comes with the "Acme" lead seal attached to the typewriter under the keyboard. This seal permanently identifies this typewriter as a genuine Acme-restored typewriter and provides for lifetime servicing at no charge. (See below for details.)
This typewriter is in excellent cosmetic condition and working perfectly. It has been serviced, adjusted and fully cleaned inside and out, and has a new ribbon so you can start typing immediately. NOTE: There is a smudge of ink on the front of the typewriter under the spacebar. This has now been cleaned. It came from my fingers after adjusting the ribbon...)
Mechanically this Princess is in top working condition. The platen roller is in fine condition, smooth and clean, with a very usable hardness rating of 96 (Durometer, Shore A scale; 85-95 being the ideal range). The rubber feet are still in fine condition and soft, holding the typewriter well to the desktop. All the chrome is unblemished and uncorroded. It is fully working as designed and as originally. The rubber on the paper feed rollers is in fine, soft condition.
The keytops are in excellent condition with no signs of fingernail scratches. The original paint is in excellent overall condition. The only slight cosmetic "issues" are a few very small areas of paint loss on the green body on the rear panel and some minor paint loss around the screws holding the rear upper panel in place. These are shown in the photos. 
The lovely faux calf-leather case is in excellent, original condition. The interior paper flap is in excellent condition and the snap closure works well. The interior case fabric is in fine condition. There is a small area on the front of the case where the cover shows some wear but besides that it is in top condition.
The typeface is a lovely Elite (11 cpi). The keyboard is QWERTZ with all characters necessary for typing in English or in German. Note that the alignment of uppercase and lowercase letters and small letters is true.
