Photo Shooting

I finally found some time to finish my project of taking pictures of all my typewriters. I'll let the images speak for themselves today. More typing, and photos of the surprise I've got in Bellinzona, next time.

A Hermes Baby – and a nice surprise

A HERMES BABY
and a nice surprise
Didn't I write that I was deciding which of my typewriters I would sell? So why am I typing this on a brand new Hermes Baby (serial number 9436329, which means it was manufactured 1976 or later, which is indeed as close as it gets to "brand new" when talking about a Hermes Baby)?
When I was putting my Hermes 808 online for sale, I was a bit sidetracked which resulted in the acquisition of this nice green little machine. It is in almost perfect condition, I just need to get a new ribbon for it.
But it got even worse. A much larger Machine which was on top of my whish list since I got into
typewriters a few years ago also magically appeared on my screen and then after a nice train ride to Bellinzona and back also in
my home. But more about that beauty in n next post. Today only two pictures to prove that it is possible to transport a standard typewriter by train.
