Description:
This Hermes 3000 was a decent local deal. It was dirty and had an issue with the spacebar which made it inoperable. That's fixed now and it types like a charm.
It features the Techno-Pica typeface (TP).
The bottom plate, which also acts as one side of the travel case, has clearly been bumped around, but otherwise the machine is in excellent condition.

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 3000 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes 3000 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
