Description:
I got this Hermes Media for a song. The Media is the sibling of the 2000, without a tab and impression control. But it types incredibly smoothly! And this one, in green crinkle paint, and with the iconic green keys typical of the 3000, just looks great!
I have one issue to fix with the left platen knob which tends to move out and enable the platen variable when typing.
UPDATE: Left platen knob issue fixed. This machine types like a dream.

I started collecting my first pre-WW2 standard typewriters in 2017. Since then I have added a few machines to my collection, which now ranges from the 1880s to the 1980s. As of 2024, I have more big standard (desktop) typewriters than portables, a few standard electrics, and some unusual machines like Varitypers, uncommon IBM machines, and more. I am not a pro restorer, but I have restored a few of my machines beyond simple cleaning.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes Media 2000 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes Media 2000 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
