Description:
A 1958 Hermes Baby with standard Greek typeface in good shape, but missing the right platen knob - as it is somehow usual with these machines. It was very dirty when I found it at my favorite flea market, mechanically it showed no probem, it just took some intense cleaning and TLC to make it work flawlessly again. I sold this machine to a guy that wanted to gift a light and small typewriter to his girlfriend - how sweet!

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 :)
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes Baby on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes Baby By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
