Description:
Just found this Rocket in near mint condition at an estate sale in Fountain Valley, CA (11/17/17). Has original Hermes metal ribbon spools. So clean and lovely. Signed in at 7:15 a.m. for the 8 a.m. open doors. Guys asking me, Why typewriters? No one else there for the typewriters and here I thought, Get there early because they'll all be wanting them. Sadly, no. But good for me! Sold in Aug 2018 to Kip.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes Rocket on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes Rocket By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
