About Hermes 3000 Typewriter
Presenting to you the iconic Hermes 3000 typewriter with mint green keys and body. Hermes typewriters were developed in Switzerland by the Paillard company, which started out making music boxes in the early 19th century and later transitioned to typewriters in early 1920s. Hermes 3000 is possibly the most famous and cool typewriter ever. It features:

This typewriter is in outstanding condition - both cosmetic and mechanical! It types as smooth as butter and looks amazing!

The case is overall in good condition as well, cleaned and polished. It works great - including the automatic lock on the front. Overall, this typewriter is in amazing condition! All mechanics are fully working, 100% tested. For a type out, please see pictures. The typeface is very beautiful, big and elegant. It is a PICA typeface, meaning there are 10 characters in 1 inch, which is a very elegant, small font which means you can type more words on the same A4 page compared to PICA typeface typewriters for example. The keyboard is QWERTZ layout, for English speakers the "Y" key has a different position. For international speakers there are extra symbols - umlaut for German speakers, tilde "ñ" for Spanish speakers and more extra letters.

Real vintage one with professional seller

I am really satisfied with customer service as well as typewriter itself. The seller sincerely answered my inquiries during restoration, and let me know the process. Also she sended several photos while she was working so I was able to know about restoration. They provided fast and safe delivery, package tracking and notice. The machine perfectly works. I can type letters smoothly. I rate 10/10, for the typewriter and service.

A truly incredible Hermes 3000 typewriter...

A truly incredible Hermes 3000 typewriter that is beautifully restored in perfect working order. As much as I was awe struck when I saw the typewriter I was equally in awe at how amazingly fast the shipping was given the distance. I was guided every step of the way in the needs of a typewriter and surprised with the accessories it came with. Thank you so much for everything!

My experience with Bilyana & Amsterdam Typ...

My experience with Bilyana & Amsterdam Typewriter has been hands down the pinnacle of any experience I have had in all my 45 years when it comes to the exchange of goods & services. This fully restored Hermes 3000 typewriter arrived in gorgeous condition with not so much as a single finger print on it. The packaging was as intricate as a thought—just remarkably taken care of. In this package was beautifully detailed documentation, certificates, instructions, typing paper, cleaning kit, extra ribbon. This typewriter traveled all the way from 1960, to the Netherlands, and then all the way to southern California. Throughout this incredible journey Bilayana was with it and me the entire time. The machine is a masterpiece of care and consideration. Bilyana is someone who astonishes me with her brilliance. Thank You.
