Typewriter Bar-Lock Mod. 1b, 1888
"Bar-Lock Mod. 1b", 1888 Very rare and early model with richly ornated cast-iron typebar cover. Designed by Charles Spiro, the New York watchmaker, who also invented the "Columbia Index Typewriter". Manufactured by the "Columbia Type Writer Mfg. Co., New York". Frame expert repair. - Only the 3 known models with the large "B" (for "Bar-Lock") in the middle of the cast-iron typebar cover, so the real "Mod. 1", are earlier than this model here of the same period. - One of the most important collector's items!<Br>
