1947 Hermes Baby Serial # 5037717 1947 Hermes Baby typewriter, Serial # 5037717 Alexander Haselbacher's 1947 Hermes Baby typewriter. 2022-07-12 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Alexander Haselbacher: 1947 Hermes Baby Serial # 5037717 Made in Switzerland with a German keyboard.
I bought it on Ebay from Germany.
The sticker on it shows a Vienna Company: Büro Organisation Dorfmeister.
The address still exists but the company is long since gone.
After cleaning and oiling it works without any problems, except the rubber parts are very dry and therefore the page sometimes ends up crooked when turning the platen knob.

I love Typewriters and Photography.
One day you will see my name in lights, saying Alex H. tonight.


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