Description:
My personal favourite looking portable, however the typebars had a long way to travel before making contact with platen and this was a disadvantage compared to many rival imports at the time in the UK. Nonetheless I still enjoy using this maching. The last Imperial portable design before Litton Industries acquired this long established UK manufacturer.

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 Imperial Messenger T on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Imperial Serial Number page and the Imperial Messenger T By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
