1972 Hermes 3000 Serial # 7159297 1972 Hermes 3000 typewriter, Serial # 7159297 Joe Van Cleave's 1972 Hermes 3000 typewriter. 2023-01-16 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Joe Van Cleave: 1972 Hermes 3000 Serial # 7159297 Nicknamed the Nekkid Riter. I removed the chassis from the body panels and mounted it to a custom made piece of oak, with rubber spacers and 5mm bolts. I also made a custom oak and brass carrying box. Wonderful typer in both action and appearance.

This machine has subsequently been gifted to another typewriter collector, who has installed the chassis back into its original body shell.
