• Items placed under this heading also incorporate Taylor & Barrett (T&B) which were manufactured from 1920 to 1941. Manufacturing had to cease from 1941 due to World War 2. After the war the partnership was not renewed.
• Mr Barrett and sons started up again as "Barrett & Sons" which traded from 1945 to 1983.
• Mr Taylor, his son and son in law started up again as "F.G. Taylor & Sons" which traded from 1945 to 1980.
•  Any "FGT & Sons" items have been placed on the Miscellaneous Page.
• From the 1960s onwards metal components were increasingly replaced by plastic.
• In 1970 Barretts moved into premises that housed the Barton company at that particular time. From then on Barretts made exclusively for Bartons. Therefore I will place many of the Barrett plastic 1970s items under the Barton heading. At the same time, all of their moulds were converted so from then on no metal items were made, only plastic.

1950s Barrett & Son Washing Machine With Lid & Rare Original Box @ £38.50SOLD

This metal washing machine with plastic tub, lid and roller is in an excellent played with condition. It is extremely rare to have the original box too - a first actually for KT Miniatures in all the years I have been trading. Whoever owned this before really looked after it and I suspect it has actually been stored in the box for years. If you turn the handle the rollers move-great fun and it is so refreshing to have the lid too. Very evocative of the era.

Lovely item!

Measures 1 3/8" x 1 3/8" x 2 3/4" high

1950s Barrett & Son Vacuum Cleaner @ £16.00SOLD

This 1950s Barrett cream painted metal hoover with material bag is in a good played with condition, with some paint loss. The little metal loop has been replaced by an old fashioned hook. Nice item.

NB. Although this was manufactured and sold for use with 1/16th dolls houses, please note that this is actually on the large side and would even suit the 1/12th dolls house. This item measures 4" long from tip of handle to front of hoover. I personally am not bothered by discrepancies in scale with the antique and vintage items, however please take note of measurements before ordering.
