This small beautiful portable was made in Nakajima, Japan for Litton Industries in the early 70's (my best guess). One of many Litton typewriters made in Japan for various brands, this one was made for Royal (owned by Litton) and called Firebird. The color of this beauty makes all my typing magical, filling my head with the Firebird Suite by Igor Stravinsky. I love turning heads when I take it to the coffee shop!
