1941 Hermes Media 2000 Serial # 381860 1941 Hermes Media 2000 typewriter, Serial # 381860 Ollie Prochaska's 1941 Hermes Media 2000 typewriter. 2025-06-15 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Ollie Prochaska: 1941 Hermes Media 2000 Serial # 381860 Picked up in June 2025 along with a 1937 Monarch Pioneer near Trenton, NJ. Paint is in excellent condition, however the body shows signs of having been dropped. No mechanical issues associated with the damage though! Platen is rock-hard, although the rest of the rubber feels quite good for the age. Mostly working, although the carriage is a bit sluggish and still needs some extra cleaning. Really enjoyable to type on. QWERTY keyboard with some European characters.

I have a modest collection I started as a teenager. I recently started actively collecting machines again and now I’m back up to about 20 machines.
