About Hermes 3000 Typewriter
It is a truly 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:

- Beautiful seafoam keys
- Sexy curvy design
- Durable yet very delicate mechanics
- Heavy duty metal case for ultimate protection
- Unlimited functionality (3 color settings)

Notes on restoration
Important: This typewriter has been completely restored. It has new felt pads, platen rubber, feed rollers rubber, new custom feet matching the original ones, new springs, etc. It is guaranteed FULLY professionally serviced, cleaned and is spotless! It has been disassembled for cleaning, every part of it has been polished and cleaned to a shine, including all the keys, external body and case.

It also has brand new rubber key rest for ultimate noise reduction. This typewriter also has brand new felt pad on the bottom again - for cleanliness and noise reduction. It is reset to factory settings and adjusted and this is why it is always best to buy a restored, serviced machine that is 100% reliable and will not need maintenance in the next 1 year.

Please, note the typewriter is to be used in only one ribbon color. The red ink setting types a bit of the tops in black as well. We have done our best to adjust and align the ribbon vibrator on this one, but there are limitations. If you want to use the typewriter with 2 ribbon colors, that is also okay, you need to flip the ribbon to use the other color.

This typewriter will last at least a lifetime. It comes delivered right to your doorstep, the only thing you need is to supply paper and start typing. I am very confident in the fully working condition of this machine which has been fully serviced and this is why I offer a 1 year warranty.

Typewriter Condition
This typewriter is in outstanding condition - both cosmetic and mechanical! It types as smooth as butter and looks amazing! It features brand NEW feet which have been tailor made to original design and factory color (gray). The platen have been refurbished. Bell works like a charm, carriage advances smoothly. There are almost no visible scratches on the outside body (high quality detail pictures on request). The chrome plated metal parts look very good. 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. 

Extras
This typewriter comes with new ink (black) and original brushes (set of 2).

The machine is finished off with a protective, museum-quality wax in order to protect the paint from oxidation, dirt, scratches and fingerprints.
