I bought this Hermes 3000 typewriter and a pile of vintage office supplies (from previous posts) and a lamp for $8. Not only was the Hermes name hilarious, it was followed by 3000! I was SOLD on it! 
This typewriter came out of a time-warp-office in a mid century home. It was made in Switzerland and inside of the case I found 2 brushes, an owners manual, a warranty certificate, and 5 carbon copies of letters typewritten in the 1970's. I will try to translate these encrypted carbon copies for a future post. 
Every typewriter has a serial no. and you can look at the typewriter index to determine its age. This typewriter is from 1964 or 1965 and is a seafoam green color. So if you own an vintage typewriter, I suggest you find the serial no. and cruise the index.
