Description:
Elite typeface. Sold in Fribourg Switzerland. Strange keyboard; qwerty but modified to have French accent keys. I’m guessing this was sold to an American student at Villa St Jean International School, which was a boarding school open in Fribourg at the time. Very good typer.

Suburan Chicago guy with a small collection of post war portable typewriters. I like writing letters to friends and pen pals.
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.
