1971 Hermes Media 3 Serial # 712994 1971 Hermes Media 3 typewriter, Serial # 712994 Alexander Pearson's 1971 Hermes Media 3 typewriter. 2023-07-03 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Alexander Pearson: 1971 Hermes Media 3 Serial # 712994 A no-frills Hermes 3000, really. I was expecting this late-generation plastic model to be uglier than it actually is. The type action is smooth, but it's underwhelming. Then again, that probably had to do with expectations. People lionize the Hermes 3000 like no other typewriter. The expectations were probably impossible to meet.
