Description:
The logo on the paper table and the black keys indicate that this is one of the later models made in Weedsport. (Of course, "Weedsport" is also printed on the back).
From my research, this may be the latest known serial number of a Barr.
The image here is a "before" image. I'm slowly working on restoring it, so it is currently in pieces. I'll post more photos later. It shows it's age and the effects of being stored in a humid climate, but I believe it can be made functional.
I saw this on eBay and low-balled a bid, not expecting to win it. But, eBay works in mysterious ways.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Barr Typewriter on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Barr Serial Number page and the Barr Typewriter By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
