The Royal 890 was a mid-range full-size Royal portable. Its list price was $99.95. In comparison, the top-of-the-line Safari was $114.50. The low-end Telstar, which lacks the =/+ key found on the 890 had a list price of $79.95. A "Royalite '65" cost $59.95.
The Royal 890 was available in beige, blue/white, and all white. My 890 is relatively easy to keep clean, despite being painted white. It has the inevitable scrape on the ribbon cover, caused by the folding carriage-return lever. It has Elite (small) type, and a key-set tabulator.
Mid-range portables are often the hardest to find, partly because of the small price difference between a mid-range and a top-of-the-line portable. The low-end full-size portable typewriters are harder to find than the low-priced compact portable typewriters. This may be because the compact typewriters were extensively marketed toward students and travelers.
