1901 Barlock Columbia Barlock 10 Serial # 65630 1901 Barlock Columbia Barlock 10 typewriter, Serial # 65630 Brian Decker's 1901 Barlock Columbia Barlock 10 typewriter. 2026-08-15 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Brian Decker: 1901 Barlock Columbia Barlock 10 Serial # 65630 2026-AUG-15, Gallery Creation. The seller, "squirtrudy", based in Seattle, WA, listed this 1901 Bar-Lock Model 10 on eBay yesterday. The Model 10, along with the Model 11, are the last two double-keyboard models of the Columbia Bar-Lock, I believe. This one is currently listed for $425 OBO. This would be a nice one to have, perhaps, but shipping across the US would be a lot, and I'm not sure the "Best Offer" negotiation would go low enough for me to spring.

My interest in typewriters started in 1997, when I was in graduate school at the University of Georgia. I purchased and read Darryl Rehr's book, joined ETC, and started reaching out to known collectors. I had several email interchanges with Richard Polt dating from that period. I also bought some of my first machines from Bob Aubert, and visited him at his home twice. After marriage and relocation to New England, I continued visiting antique shops and eBay, until other priorities put my typewriter hobby on hiatus around 2008.

In late 2024, I started up again, working on my machines and having some of them serviced professionally by New England Typewriter (NET) LLC (Merrimack, NH), until they closed their doors in December of 2025. Since mid-2025, I have been adding to my collection again, first with a Hermes 3000 purchase from NET, then with various auctions and purchases on eBay, when I find something that catches my eye.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Barlock Columbia Barlock 10 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Barlock Serial Number page and the Barlock Columbia Barlock 10 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
