1957 Hermes 2000 Serial # 2214362 1957 Hermes 2000 typewriter, Serial # 2214362 Geoff Flash's 1957 Hermes 2000 typewriter. 2021-03-22 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Geoff Flash: 1957 Hermes 2000 Serial # 2214362 #498

A very unexpected find today while on the road for 15 hours. I love it when the the "ying" balances the "yang" of the day...
The typewriter originally came from VA, I found it in NC. This is my second of this model, unfortunately both are
"elite"...
(These images are before the initial cleaning...)

"I was born in a crossfire hurricane"...
A professor in college gave me the gift and appreciation of the letter form.
Typewriters are just little "print shops" for me.
I have an MFA in 3D Digital Sculpture.
I no longer mold young minds, by teaching art to high school students, everyday is a safari now...
In my spare time I own and operate an equal opportunity rescue shelter for all makes and models of typewriters that have been abandoned in the bottoms of closets.
No matter how many typewriters I am fortunate to be able to collect, my collection will not be as nice as Herman's...
