Hermes 2000 Typewriter 1947

This is a lovely example of the HERMES 2000, a classic typewriter, in a rich black finish! This is a well-maintained machine from 1947. It is in excellent condition, mechanically and cosmetically, has been thoroughly cleaned, serviced, adjusted and aligned and has been outfitted with a new Acme Signature Blue ribbon on two vintage metal ribbon spools. 
You have to type on this machine to experience how beautifully these Hermes 2000's respond to a typist's fingers. The 2000 has long been overshadowed by the well-known Hermes 3000, but I believe unjustly so. It has a less heavy feel and a more traditional look than the early model Hermes 3000's. The 2000 is a more difficult typewriter to find especially in the black colour (which is all original).
This is a fully-working--as original--typewriter. The only thing that you have to do is sit down, put paper on the roller and start typing. This Hermes typewriter comes with the "Acme" lead certification seal attached to the typewriter under the keyboard. This seal permanently identifies this typewriter as a genuine Acme-restored typewriter and provides for a one-year warranty. (See below for details.) We provide careful and attentive after-purchase advice and assistance from the date of purchase to the end of eternity to ensure your full satisfaction. In terms of an investment, the Acme Seal proves that this machine was restored in 2020 by the Acme Type Machine Company. This can add value in the event that you wish to sell this typewriter in the future.
Cosmetically, this Hermes 2000 is in exceptional condition. The finish colour is uniform and without noticeable blemishes.
Mechanically, this typewriter is working as originally manufactured. The tabulator system is in good working order as is every other mechanical function. All the mechanical aspects have been checked and properly adjusted and aligned. The platen roller is clean and smooth.  The typing keys are in excellent condition without any fingernail scratching or other blemish. The paper feed rollers are all soft, smooth and grip the paper well. The rubber feet are in fine condition. The platen roller knobs are solid and strong and in perfect condition.
The typeface/font is a beautiful Hermes Pica (10 cpi). The keyboard is an original English QWERTY with extra keys for Spanish and other European languages. This typewriter comes, as mentioned, with a new ribbon so that you can start typing immediately and with pleasure. The ribbon is held by two, original metal ribbon spools.
