Description:
The platen on this one is dry, so the typeface specimen isn't as good as it could be. Both the exterior of the machine and the carrying case are metal. Has a single paper holder, but that's about it in terms of features. The big pro of this design is how slim and portable it is. It's also significantly lighter than my other machines, though I don't have anything I could measure that with.
Machine dimensions:
- 28,6 cm / 11.26 in wide/long
- 6,5 cm / 2.56 in tall
With carrying case:
- 28,6 cm / 11.26 in wide/long
- 6,7 cm / 2.64 in tall

Got interested in typewriters somewhere between 2021–2022, and have been collecting since.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes Rocket on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes Rocket By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
