Description:
Hermes 3000 typewriter with original case, manual and stiff-bristled brush. Cursive script. Super clean. The interior parts gleamed. The insulation was complete and looked good. There was some light surface wear to the paint consistent with its age and very light usage. The platen was smooth and original. All features worked as expected, although one of the red margin indicator ribbons had to be replaced on its spool. This typewriter once spent an afternoon at the Playboy office in Chicago.
