This Hermes Baby dates to 1963, during the height of the model’s popularity. Finished in a classic seafoam green tone, it reflects the refined design and precise engineering that made the Hermes Baby a favorite among writers and journalists. Lightweight, compact, and beautifully made, it was designed as a true travel companion — offering smooth, reliable typing in a timeless portable form.
This machine has an AZERTY (French) layout, including keys for "è", "é", "ç", "à", "ù" and two accent marks — diaeresis (¨) and circumflex (^). You can type accented characters such as ü and â. Please check the keyboard photos for additional special symbols.
Hermes Elite features clean, well-balanced letterforms and exceptional readability. Crisp and versatile, it produces clear, professional-looking text that is equally suited to letters, journals, and everyday writing.
This typewriter is in good cosmetic condition, with some scratch marks on the metal casing. Please review the photos carefully. All keys, margins, line spacing, and ribbon mechanisms are functional. Basic cleaning and adjustments have been performed to ensure a smooth typing experience. The original carrying case is missing its handle, as shown in the last photo, which is reflected in the reduced price. A new ribbon is already installed, and additional ribbons can be purchased separately.
