Description:
This is the second Hermes in the collection. It is from the last year that Hermes made the round body and switched to the square body.
When I first got this there was some discussion on the Typosphere as to when the body style changed. This SN fell into 1966, same as one of my square body machines.
Ted has added some new information to his blog where I found this one was one of the last made in 1966 as the last SN was 3351339 in May 1966 when production on this style ended after a run of 3351339 units.

Among many interests I like typewriters.
I presently have over 90 in my collection. I am slowly getting them photographed and uploaded to this site.
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.
