1953 Hermes Rocket Serial # 5305600 1953 Hermes Rocket typewriter, Serial # 5305600 ari summerland's 1953 Hermes Rocket typewriter. 2014-11-09 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of ari summerland: 1953 Hermes Rocket Serial # 5305600 A little rough and in need of some TLC, but such a light and quiet typewriter that I can't help but like it. The 8 and . key are both slightly melted, as if someone stuck something hot on them. Wasn't shipped to me with any protection, and I think the typebars and left gull wing spool cover took some damage at that time. My third Hermes!

Coming soon -- better photos!
I've neglected cataloging my collection for six or seven years now.
My dad and I will be working to sell some of his camera equipment soon, so we'll have a good photo setup.
May as well start over cataloging my collection, right?
