1960 Hermes 3000 Serial # 3057271 1960 Hermes 3000 typewriter, Serial # 3057271 Oliver Scheit's 1960 Hermes 3000 typewriter. 2022-10-24 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Oliver Scheit: 1960 Hermes 3000 Serial # 3057271 Update 2022: Sold this typewriter a few years ago.

After a very long search and waiting-time, I found this beauty finally on German eBay. It was the most expensive typewriter so far, but pretty much worth it. I do not regret spending so much money for it.
10cpi, very clean, very good overall shape. The platen ist rock-hard, of course. I might will get that done one day.
The Hermes 300 is a very fine typewriter and one of my favourites so far. I like the touch, the solid build quality and the margin system.
A keeper.
