Description:
I've been trying to track down a mid-50s Rocket for quite some time. This one needed (and still needs) some work. I love the feel of the keys and the gullwing covers. I was a little disappointed with how thin the metal body is. Not as stout as the Olympias, but it does weigh next to nothing...for a typewriter.

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.
