1958 Hermes Baby Serial # 5666516 1958 Hermes Baby typewriter, Serial # 5666516 Dimitris Nikou's 1958 Hermes Baby typewriter. 2022-10-25 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Dimitris Nikou: 1958 Hermes Baby Serial # 5666516 My 3rd Hermes Baby, a 1958 machine with standard Greek typeface in good shape. It was very dirty when I found it at my favorite flea market and although I cleaned it, it still needs more TLC. Mechanically it shows no problem, everything works fine. Exactly as with my 1967 Baby, it misses the right platen knob - I need to find replacements some time for both.

Writer and blogger from Athens, Greece. I own a small collection of typewriters, most of my machines are functional and I try to repair any with problems that keeps it from typing. For me, it is important for a typewriter not just to sit on a shelve for display, but to be able to type when I want to. On the links below you will find my blogs and social media profiles. Feel free to follow me and get in touch if you want. I am always happy to communicate :)
