Description:
Received 2023 as a Christmas gift. Obtained from an estate sale. Shell and typewriter itself both bear the markings of the original owner, who had been a doctor in Toledo, OH. Family members recounted that this particular Hermes 3000 (one of three featured at the estate sale) was used extensively by his office secretary, who was evidently left-handed based on locations where excess white-out touched the machine.

When I'm not teaching, I set wide margins and still run off the page.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes 3000 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes 3000 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
