Description:
QWERZ Hermes Baby. It is in great condition for it's age. I generally need to fix a multitude of issues with many of my machines, but surprisingly, it was in complete working order when I bought it.
It has very light & snappy action, which makes it easy to write on. One feature I really enjoy on this machine is the "1/" button. You can combine it with any number to create a variety of fractions!
One other thing. I don't always use my typewriters on my lap, you know... Like a laptop. But when I do, it's with this machine! It's an enjoyable experience to lay on the couch and just type out your thoughts.
Strangely, a precious owner has scratched the S/N on this machine. I don't own any other typewriters with scratched S/N, so I don't know if this is unusual. I can only make out the first number "2". It has the body, logo and mechanics of a 1940-1942 Baby.

I'm a software engineer in the Chicagoland area. I've been collecting "vintage" vinyl, computers, mechanical keyboards and typewriters since I was a kid. Born into an analog world, but grew up in a digital one.
My wife is a writer and I enjoy problem solving and puzzles, so naturally fixing I fell in love with fixing and maintaining typewriters and she then gets to enjoy all of these machines!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes Baby on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes Baby By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
