The Royal 890 is a direct descendant of the Royal Futura. Notice the "Magic" column setting buttons behind the keyboard. The 890 was a lower priced Royal Portable (note the lack of a 1/! key and the lack of "Magic Margin".) Other related portables are the Royal Caravan, which is two-tone gray, and lacks the +/= key found on the 890, and the high-end Royal Custom II. While this is a lower-end Royal Portable, it still offers the famous "Touch Control." It was also available in gray, beige, and blue. The case that holds the 890 is identical to that of many other 1960s Royals, and has the feature of a swing-away handle.
