Description:
Manufactured by Barlock (1925) Company, Nottingham, England. Purchased in 1935 by a lecturer in aero-dynamics at Loughborough University. Gifted to me by his wife following his death in 1983 and she had previously bought me the Bar-Let Model No. 2. for my collection. While in need of a thorough overall
all is still working. Keys a little sticky but nothing that a little tlc wont put right. Elite typeface.

Typewriter collector from the UK. Had my first portable in my youth (Imperial Good Companion Model 1). Later changed to an Olympia Splendid 66 and then in November 1967 had my first standard an Imperial 70 which I still have and use to this day. Have collected on and off ever since. Though I have an Imperial Model D of 1919 in my collection my interest is more the models available during the 1960's when I first learnt to touch type.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Bar-Let 1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Bar-Let Serial Number page and the Bar-Let 1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
