(I say Rocket or Baby because they are identical other than the branding, and the listing includes pictures of both).
Gorgeous working Hermes Baby typewriter in classic green with case. US. qwerty keyboard. Sometimes UK version (pound key instead of dollar).
Excellent working condition.
Includes:
Typeface: either 12 pitch or 10 pitch (10 or 12 ‘point’ font). (Specify in form upon checkout if preference).
Solid case. Either hard shell metal clip-on or leatherette.
New black ribbon wound onto vintage ribbon spools (these don’t take 2-tone ribbon like some other models).
US QWERTY keyboard layout (no ‘1’, use lower case ‘L’.
Singe and double line-spacing
Ribbon auto reversal.
Elegant fold-out ribbon covers.
Left and right margins
Fold out paper support.
Note that there are no ‘tabs’ on this model.
Sometimes branded ‘Hermes Baby’, sometimes ‘Hermes Rocket’. All the same mechanicals.
Newly cleaned, lubricated, and adjusted.
The green crinkle version (shown) is a slight upgrade from the earlier gray models.
Spring loaded paper support and more resilient engineering.
These are a classic from typewriter history. Very low profile and beautiful.
In my opinion, the keyboard feels ‘small’ so if you have large hands it could feel cramped: if you have small hands it could be perfect. That being said you can adjust to anything.
