Description:
Oh boy this Baby is sweet. I expected it to feel a little gritty, because the tiny metal typewriter makes me think of an old Army jeep, but I could type on it all day. The keys feel great to my fingers/hand-span. This is another of my favorites. Purchased from Dax collection in 2019.

Typewriter user since childhood--"Endofthehall Press" (produced a magazine for my big sister, I did) and avid hunter for many years. Partial to portables/ultraportables, but do love my standard models too. I use my typewriters for letters, recipes, lists, stories, pondering, and in art/fabric creations.
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.
