1949 Hermes Baby Serial # 5136556 1949 Hermes Baby typewriter, Serial # 5136556 Mark Schrad's 1949 Hermes Baby typewriter. 2023-01-08 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Mark Schrad: 1949 Hermes Baby Serial # 5136556 I got this 1949 Hermes--which by the nondescript decal, seems to be somewhere in the transition from a Baby to a Rocket--from a fellow collector in King of Prussia, PA, in December of 2022. Needed some tuning and a thorough cleaning, but not too much beyond that.
