    It may be the provoking title, but when I saw the pictures, I immediately had the taste of my favourite chocolate in my mind.
    Now I must resist the urge to find a bar of it. :)

    I must confess that while working with this typewriter last night, I had an overwhelming craving for chocolate and got my son to go out and buy a box of chocolate-coated ginger. It has that effect! When I stopped typing, the craving went away ... True story!

    Found my chocolate bar - it's history. Many greetings from Switzerland, Robert! May it be a good ITAM.

    Beautiful typewriter. Typewriters = dependable. I do not know much of anything that can be improvised on a computer.

    I wonder who the fellow is that mentioned ITAM?

    Thanks Robert.

    I think it makes you think of Switzerland because it vaguely resembles a Hermes Baby

    Malaysian-made Fullmark Universal ribbons are readily available in Australia, notably through Office Essentials, and Richard Amery and Terry Cooksley in Sydney are still selling Chinese-made ribbons.
