  • SORRY, SOLD! 1963 Hermes 3000 Typewriter with elegant Elite typeface

    €1,050.00Price

    A beautiful, professionally restored Hermes 3000 with QWERTY keyboard and a NEW PLATEN.  Fully restored and working perfectly! 

    This particular HERMES 3000, is in lovely condition, mechanically and cosmetically, and has been thoroughly cleaned, serviced, adjusted and aligned. The typewriter has been fitted with a new ribbon so you can start typing immediately. 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.

    The cosmetic condition is excellent. The chrome and aluminum are in top condition with no signs of corrosion. The typing keys are clean and unmarked by use. Both platen roller knobs are absolutely solid.  The platen rubber, as noted, has been replaced with new rubber by the oldest rubber factory in the Netherlands. Mechanically, this Hermes is working like new.

     

     

    Acme typewriters have been the choice of discerning collectors and writers more than 1,000 times since we began selling online in 2016. They are fully guaranteed to work. Most shipments to the US arrive in 3 days--often much faster than most domestic shipments within the US. 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. Many new dealers strive to imitate us--none succeed.

    Mechanically, it is in excellent working condition. The paper feeder rollers are in perfect condition and soft. The feet are in excellent condition, soft and still grip the desktop well. All mechanical devices have been checked and adjusted as necessary, and work as originally manufactured. Everything on this typewriter is original to its manufacture and original purchase except the new platen rubber.

    The case/cover is in very fine condition with only the barest signs of use on the exterior. The chrome pieces are shiny and bright as new and the handle is clean and intact. This Hermes comes with the original, Hermes-branded cleaning brush.

    The keyboard is QWERTY with extra character keys and accent keys for foreign languages--especially useful for French and German. The typeface is Hermes Elite with an uncommon 13 characters to the inch.  Typical Elite is 11.5 characters to the inch. This somewhat smaller font makes for a very elegant look.

    This fine example of a Hermes 3000 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.
