A superb example of this iconic Swiss portable, manufactured in 1967 with original seafoam green paintwork and light green keytops. This typewriter was manufactured at the Hermes factory in Yverdon Switzerland for the American market, with a dollar on the no.4 keytop, but has since been changed by the previous owner to print a '£' for use in the U.K. (please see typeface sample). Fully serviced in our workshop with a new ribbon fitted it is a lovely typewriter to use with a nice light touch to the keyboard, and has a rare "Techno Pica" typestyle giving you 10 characters to the inch. The typewriter is supplied with the original carry cover, original Hermes cleaning brushes, and original user instructions. Nowadays this model is much sought after due to it's superb design. The actor Tom Hanks who is an avid collector and user of typewriters says this is his most favourite model.
Replacement ribbons for this machine are available to order on our website. (Group 9 )
