Description:
This was a local Facebook marketplace find. The machine just needed a new ribbon and was pretty much good to go. This came with the leather case, but the zippers are in rough condition, so I hope to find a hard shell cover for it in the future.

I am based in Franklin, TN just south of Nashville. I am a big fountain pen and stationery user, so typewriters were a natural progression to more things analog whenever possible.
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.
