1964 Hermes 3000 - *New Platen* *Personal Collection Offering*
The Hermes 3000 is perhaps one of the most well regarded typewriter out there. It’s buttery smooth action, perfectly molded keys, and wonderful Swiss engineering, it’s no wonder why!
This is a p r e c i s i o n typewriter. Everything on it can be tuned and adjusted to make for the best possible writing experience. The 3000 might just be the most well rounded portable out there. This machine is ready to write. Not just a couple letters to your penpals, no this thing is ready to write NOVELS!
This is the first generation of Hermes 3000 and arguably the most beautiful of them all. It’s curvy body lines, and mint green hardware take you straight back to the 50’s. It reminds me a lot of the Jaguar D-Type, one of the most beautiful cars ever built.
The Hermes isn’t just beloved by typewriter collectors, many writers and journalists favored the 3000 back in the day including, Jack Kerouac, Larry McMurtry, Sam Shepard, Stephen Fry, and many others. Even Tom Hanks himself raves about the performance of these typewriters.
This is NOT an as-is typewriter. It’s been professionally cleaned, serviced, and adjusted to ensure you’re getting the best possible writing machine. I spent an unholy amount of time making sure everything was working perfectly! This machine is not cosmetically perfect, but it’s damn near. The platen knobs show the most signs of wear. Each one has some discoloration. Since they’re the original platen knobs, I refrained from cleaning them too intensely as the plastic knobs are rather fragile.
This is the best gift you could give to the writer, journalist, or typewriter lover (yourself included) in your life! You are getting a FULLY FUNCTIONAL typewriter, which has been professionally tuned according to factory standards. With the fresh rubber installed, it’s about as close to a brand new typewriter as you can get.
