Description:
This is a Cyrillic keyboard machine, that was originally produced and sold in America, but was found in Tasmania, Australia when I purchased it.
The seller believed it was a 'Baby', but under black-light, it was revealed to be a 'Rocket'. Although, they are essentially the same thing.

A resident of Melbourne, Australia. I have too many typewriters, and not enough space. But what can I say? I just love the things!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes Rocket on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes Rocket By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
