Royal Futura 800

 
Post-Script: The platen is a bit hard and shiny, but the feed rollers appear to hold the paper tight enough so as not to slip at the bottom of the page, even when tugging at the paper; this is one of the first things I checked at the antique store prior to purchase. It will need more cleaning and a bit of work around the ribbon vibrator, along with a fresh ribbon.

I really like this font style, not entirely futuristic but merely subtly modernistic, would make a good science fiction-writing font.

This is the brown leather case, with green garden hose handle. The case is in quite good condition, and also came with the key (that was found trapped inside the typewriter's mechanism). The machine also came with a clear vinyl cover that reads "Futura 800," along with the thick felt typing pad that you can see under the case.

And this is the Solari brand, pica-sized typing gauge, which was in the case with the elite-font Futura typewriter. The label reads "Solari Manufacturing Co., Los Angeles, California". The near edge reads "PICA TYPE WRITER SPACES AND INCHES," while the rear edge reads "PICA SINGLE SPACE TYPEWRITER LINES". The raised tab with the "Pica" logo has a small hole for mounting the gauge on a string or nail.
