Bought from Harry (Kijiji) from Toronto, ON who cleans and refurbs typewriters. He had acquired this machine at an estate sale in Florida. Pushbutton to “pop the hood”, Magic Margin, Touch Control and ribbon direction lever under the hood. Not a favourite to type on, but have to have at least one in the collection. Elite typeface.

My father brought with him a Hermes Rocket when he emigrated from the UK to Canada in 1967 and I remember playing with it as a kid. This memory was reignited while I was in Montreal for work this past February and came across a stationery shop that had five typewriters in the window. When I got home, I went on the hunt for my first typewriter - caught the bug and haven't stopped!
