Description:
Relatively unknown to collectors, and probably not a spectacular machine, but it has a certain decorative charm. These days, not found so often in the wild, as the model 4 was only produced for three years, meaning a limited output thinned out in time.
It appears this specimen is missing its side covers. It's nice that the spool covers are preserved. As the rubber feet were missing, I replaced them with doorstops found in the local supermarket.

RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes 4 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes 4 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
