Description:
This typewriter has reminded me of two important things when buying online.
1) No typewriters is the same (this one doesn't type as well as my other Hermes Baby).
2) Look carefully to the images (don't get distracted by an almost perfect decal).
So, what's wrong with this Baby?

I live in The Netherlands.
Most common typewriter brands over here are Triumph/Adler, Olympia, Erika, Olivetti, Remington and Brother.
I collect and restore typewriters to learn about their design and to write with them.

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.
