Description:
GRAIL MACHINE! I think my wife spotted this at an antique mall in Freelton, ON. My heart skipped a beat when I saw the case. I knew right away it was a Hermes, but the case was too big to be a Rocket. It couldn't be...could it? A 3000? In amazing condition no less! Flower power on the case.

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!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes 3000 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes 3000 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
