Description:
Purchased 4-April-2025 for $100 CAD with case, instruction manual, and warranty papers. Purchased from the son of the original owner, who had recently passed away - she was a long-time Secretary in the Royal Canadian Air Force, who must have been stationed in West Germany in the 60s when this typewriter was purchased new.
Warranty card is stamped with 30-May-1967 RCAF 4 Wing Soellingen, which means this typewriter was purchased at CFB Baden-Soellingen in Rheinmünster, West Germany

My name is Jake Rose! I'm from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada and just started collecting/fixing up typewriters this past Spring.
I purchased my first Typewriter (Underwood 150) for $15 in pretty bad shape, and was able to restore it to decent writing condition which got me hooked!
I'm now up to 5 machines as of 18-Nov-2024 and came to this site so I can contribute my serial numbers and photos to the project!
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.
