I have written about the proliferation of old typewriters in second hand shops recently. I wondered if this was the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon/Yellow Car Effect or if it is just that more people who had these typewriters are passing away, going into homes for the elderly, or downsizing and donating them?
I have seen so many old typewriters and adding machines lately
I guess they would make for good ‘rustic’ decor in certain shops and cafés. Plus they are heavy so no one could easily steal one. Or even want to.
