1920's Unusual Underwood Double Shift Typewriter Wow! What a find this machine is. It is a portable typewriter, complete with its original case, from the 1920's. It only has 28 keys with 3 characters on each typeslug. Yes, THREE characters on each typebar. The machine has accomplishes this with the use of a DOUBLE SHIFT mechanism. There is one shift for upper case letters and another shift key for figures/numbers and symbols.

Most portable typewriters have 39 or 42 keys. This one has 28, or only 3 rows of keys instead of 4, and why it is so compact. This antique typewriter is indeed a collectible item. Everything on the machine is operating properly and the type style is clean and crisp for a 80 year old machine.

I have installed a new ribbon on this typewriter so it is ready for your enjoyment. This typewriter would make a great yesteryear display or a wonderful movie prop as it is still operational. The original leather carrying handle is long gone from the old case, but a small leather belt would work just fine.

Yverdon and distributed in the USA by Paillard Products, Inc of 100 Sixth Ave, New York 13, NY. That is all written on the back of the typewriter and dates it for sure.

Here is what one typewriter history web site says of this machine:

Quote: Hermes typewriters were designed in Switzerland - home of precision engineering. And they were built with all the Swiss passion for moving mechanisms and solid craftsmanship. The Hermes compact portables were no exception. Compactly designed with all-important features, the Hermes compact portable is an ideal typewriter for students, occasional typists and people on the road.

Clean and sporty, manufactured with the highest degree of quality, including the precision Swiss engineering that one would expect from a Swiss watch. End Quote

Vintage 1960's Swiss Hermes 3000 Typewriter Here is a most unusual portable manual HERMES typewriter made in Switzerland by the Paillard s. a. Yverdon and distributed in the USA by Paillard Products, Inc of 100 Sixth Ave, New York 13, NY. That is all written on the back of the typewriter and dates it for sure.

The typewriter is known as the workhorse machine for that era. It still is considered one of the finest portable typewriters and is preferred by many authors and script writers.

This typewriter is really well-built and has a solid typing touch to it. It is very easy to type and the machine is very well designed. The typestyle is crisp and black and the ribbon is good.

The top of the case comes off and the typewriter is ready for action.

Here is what one typewriter history web site says of this machine:

Quote: Hermes typewriters were designed in Switzerland - home of precision engineering. And they were built with all the Swiss passion for moving mechanisms and solid craftsmanship. The Hermes compact portables were no exception. Compactly designed with all-important features, the Hermes compact portable is an ideal typewriter for students, occasional typists and people on the road.

Clean and sporty, manufactured with the highest degree of quality, including the precision Swiss engineering that one would expect from a Swiss watch. End Quote

This machine has been serviced and is ready for use, or it would make a great item for a collector display. It would also work great for a movie prop. It is still in great condition as you will see in the photos.

This is a highly-sought-after typewriter still in demand today for its dependability and ease of use. The script writer of LONESOME DOVE used this model of machine and also several other movie scripts were created on this model of Hermes.

This particular machine includes the original owners manual plus a couple type clean brushes that are original to the typewriter. The carrying case also is monogrammed with the initials K.L.W. and your guess on who that might be is as good as mine. The key is included with the locking carrying case. It is not often one finds a typing machine like this so complete and so unique, yet so rare. It is the first Hermes 3000 I have seen for sale in a very long time.

This is a special ribbon with white carbon film on the lower half to act as a correction ribbon. When you make a mistake, all you do is back up one space, set the ribbon to the highest lift position (usually the red dot on the lift selector), then type the same letter over again to WHITE OUT the mistake. Now you are set to type the correct letter over the white out spot. See the photo for more detail of this ribbon.
