SORRY SOLD! 1972 Hermes Baby Typewriter

This is an extraordinary and beautiful HERMES Baby, one of the most renowned brands and models of typewriter ever made. It is in top condition, mechanically and cosmetically, and has been thoroughly cleaned, serviced, adjusted and aligned. This typewriter has its ORIGINAL colour--it has not been over-painted. This typewriter has been fitted with a new ribbon so you can start using it immediately. This is the ultimate portable typing machine weighing only around 7 lbs (3.6 kg).
This is a typing machine that is ready to work for many good years of typing service. And with its brilliant Hermes engineering, it does that with elegance, smoothness and solidity.
 
 
Acme typewriters has long been the choice of discerning collectors and writers. Acme typewriters are carefully selected, beautifully restored and come with a one-year mechanical warranty and lifetime customer-service. Each comes with a lead seal, attached to the body, identifying it as a fully-restored Acme typewriter. Most shipments to the US arrive in 3 days--often much faster than most domestic shipments within the US. Many new dealers strive to imitate us--none succeed. 
 
Overall, this typewriter is in superb condition. The chrome is in wonderful condition with no signs of corrosion. The keys are clean and unmarked by use.  The body finish is overall sparkling and glossy. 
Mechanically, it is in like-new working condition. The platen has new rubber and will last for another decade or so. All mechanical devices and mechanisms have been checked and adjusted as necessary, and work as originally manufactured. The platen knobs are solid with no cracks (something common among Hermes typewriters of this era}.
This typewriter has a QWERTY keyboard with extra keys and accent keys for European languages. The typeface is, as noted, a beautiful Hermes Elite with 11 characters to the inch.
The case/cover is in fine condition. The chrome is shiny and the handle is clean and intact. There is a small crack at the back of the case, as is often found on these typewriters, but has been repaired and does not affect the structural integrity of the case at all.
This fine example of a Hermes Baby typewriter will be packed and shipped with the greatest care to preserve its condition and beauty. We have a lot of experience in shipping typewriters and have an excellent track record for proper packing and safe delivery. It will be fully insured for shipment.
