Description:
In closed case in booth - just sitting there. One customizable keycap missing. Love the colour (official name is Sierra Tan) and it's one of my favourite typers! Can't go wrong with one of these.

My father brought with him a Hermes Rocket when he emigrated from the UK to Canada in 1967 and I remember playing with it as a kid. This memory was reignited while I was in Montreal for work this past February and came across a stationery shop that had five typewriters in the window. When I got home, I went on the hunt for my first typewriter - caught the bug and haven't stopped!
