Description:
Inherited this wonderful typewriter from my mother who used it as a secretary in my fathers landscaping business. I received it in 2017 and that led to much more typewriting collecting. It has a small Elite 13 cpi typeface (or 2mm) which to me is unusual especially for business use. Slugs are labeled S7. It's in great shape and it is the pride of my collection.

Retired. Have been a Photography geek for many years...old school film. Also have been an audiophile and have been collecting vinyl before it became fashionable. Accidently(?) began collecting typewriters in the early1980's...I had four by 2006. After I inherited my mothers Hermes 3000 in 2017 my interest really took off and now I have 28 typewriters in total. The majority of my collection are Smith Corona's largely because they are plentiful, easy to work on and are very good typers.
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.
