You're right that there are few uncontroversial topics these days, but fortunately typewriters are one of those - finding them, admiring them, and using them.

I was pleasantly surprised to be able to find an Epoca as well, right at the time that someone asked me to help them find one, and after not having looked at the classified listings for years. Many sellers don't even include typeface samples but this one had, typing KAUF MICH (buy me) in uppercase... the distinctive sans-serif was all I needed to see!

I hope that slim pickings mean that typewriters are getting purchased and loved - we had our chance to snap them all up a decade ago so I don't mind too much if they are no longer as plentiful or cheap as they were before.
