SORRY, SOLD! 1957 Hermes Baby Typewriter in perfect condition

A superb example of this classic and iconic typewriter, it was originally owned by a Dutch collector and descended through his family by inheritance. This Hermes Baby came to us in perfect condition and we have installed a new platen and completely reconditioned it. This was a typewriter that saw very, very little use—even the original, shiny, metal ribbon spools are both there. The keyboard is QWERTY with keys for European languages, and the typeface is a beautiful Hermes Elite (11 c.p.i.)
This typewriter is in like-new condition and is a joy to type with. Look closely at the photos and you will see the beautiful condition of this machine. It has been fully restored, comes with a new ribbon and is ready for your typing—and other—adventures. 
Hermes is one of the most renowned brands and models of typewriter ever made, and this is a wonderful example of the "Baby" model, also known as the "Rocket", from 1963. This is the perfect portable typing machine, weighing only ~3.6kg/8 lbs! This typewriter is in superb condition, mechanically and cosmetically, and is a typing machine that is ready to work for another 60 years of typing service. With its brilliant Hermes engineering, it does that with elegance, smoothness and solidity. 
 
 
Acme typewriters have 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.
 
Mechanically, there is nothing to remark on; this Hermes works as it originally came from the factory. Cosmetically, it is in nearly perfect condition. The photos speak for themselves.
The case is in extraordinarily fine condition, inside and out. 
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 by the Acme Type Machine Company. This can add value in the event that you wish to sell this typewriter in the future. 
This fine example of a Hermes Baby 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.
