The Litton Imperial 201 was the thirteenth typewriter to join my collection and is a basically fine machine with some good looking black keys. The only snag with the machine when i got it was that the ribbon was completely worn out, the typewriter has now been fitted with a new one.
It types pretty well, though not as loud as some of the others in the collection. The Imperial Typewriter Company was a venerable old British company but was taken over by the Americans in the 1960s. By the time this machine was built, typewriter manufacturing has finally stopped at Imperial's factory in Leicester and this 201 was manufactured in Japan.
