NOTE: Initially this was an entry about a 1943 Media 2000, for which I entered a duplicate. I had to replace the contents of one entry and this is the one. The original machine's gallery is at https://typewriterdatabase.com/1943-hermes-media-2000.16747.typewriter.

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 3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes Media 3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
