1972 Hermes 3000 Serial # 7199968 1972 Hermes 3000 typewriter, Serial # 7199968 Suzanne LaPierre's 1972 Hermes 3000 typewriter. 2025-03-18 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of Suzanne LaPierre: 1972 Hermes 3000 Serial # 7199968 Purchased from New England Typewriter in March 2025. It's a treat to have a new-to-me typewriter that doesn't need any cleaning or repairs. I was looking for a sans serif machine for my collection and this one has a cool techno pica typeface. Once I tried the machine, I experienced what I call "fun" typing. I just loved the feel of it! I guess that's why this model is so popular. Some people are not fans of the plastic version, but it does have a certain "retro futuristic" charm ala the Jetsons.

I am a librarian, artist, writer, and co-author of the book Desegregation in Northern Virginia Libraries (The History Press, 2023). If I'm working on a book or article for publication, I'm on a computer. However, I use my typewriters to create poems, type-doodles, art, and to write snail mail letters. I find the tactile nature of typing on a manual machine soothing and joyful. Each typewriter seems to have a soul and a story. Currently my collection is centered around midcentury models.


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.
