Order this typewriter today, and we will send out a beautiful, working specimen of this model in about 2 weeks.
It won't be this exact machine, and there may be slight variations. But it will be a beautifully working machine in comparable (or better) condition as the ones shown, delivered to your door, ready to write!
The Hermes 3000 is the pinnacle of vintage typewriter technology. It was manufactured in Switzerland from 1958 into the 80’s.
This is the 60’s iteration, which is boxier than its rounded 50’s counterpart, but higher quality than the later, plastic models.
The innards are brilliantly engineered. Some of the design flaws of the earlier model have been ironed out. The precision engineering makes for a very clean impression and quick, fast typing potential (you’ll still need to learn to type!).
I include vintage metal ribbon spools, wound with new ribbon.
This is a 10 or 12 CPI typeface. (see sample). Very crisp, clear type action.

THE CLASSIC TYPEWRITER PROCESS
(Or: How dare we guarantee a 50 or 60 year old machine?)
Each machine is carefully screened for quality and reliability.
Each machine passes a rigorous 14 point mechanical inspection.
Each machine is cleaned, serviced, and adjusted so that it functions as it was designed to.
Each machine is THOROUGHLY tested by a writer. (Usually people who say a typewriter ‘works’ haven’t tested most of its most important features. Sometimes the type bars move but are misaligned; sometimes the carriage won’t advance; sometimes lesser-used keys stick; sometimes whole pieces are missing, etc).
If it is found to need work, we have technicians with 40 years of experience.
If it is found to be acceptable…
Each machine is cleaned and carefully packaged for safe shipment (believe it or not, improper shipping is the MOST COMMON CAUSE OF DAMAGE for a vintage typewriter).
The Classic Typewriter LIFETIME Trade-In Policy
If at any reason you decide that you are done with the machine you got from us, you can trade it in for the full value, minus shipping and, if there is any, wear and tear. You pay the difference and we will send your next dream machine.
