Description:
Picked up from Kijiji seller in Woodstock, ON. Works great - inside will need a bit of cleaning at some point. Procured an additional ribbon and corrector ribbon which are still readily available from Amazon or Staples. Lots of features including automatic centering, underlining, and 30,000 character memory great for storing a recalling repetitive chunks of text.

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!
