A few weeks ago I decided it was time to let some typewriters go. It was time, I hadn't used many of them in years. I was successful in selling 10. Now I have 14 left. I was feeling pretty proud of myself for lightening the load when I came across an electric Smith Corona Coronet in excellent condition and in CURSIVE at a thrift store. It came home with me. A few days later, my unicorn popped up on FB marketplace---a Hermes 3000 in CURSIVE for an amazing price. After not buying a typewriter for about 6 years, I buy two in a span of a couple of weeks. Go figure but yay me.

Finally got a 6 CPI machine! I also love be the black and white case

I'm not very addicted. Except I picked up another Hermes 3000 this last week. Now I have, hmm, maybe 12? If you don't know how many typewriters you have, kind of like not knowing how many gin bottles are around the house, you might have a problem.

if I had no storage restraints to my collecting, I would keep buying Hermes 3000's in all different typefaces.  I simply love that machine!

14 and I haven't been collecting for that long.  I search out typeface first, brand second.

Welcome Bare Foot---what a great homage to your dad. My homage to my dad would be one of the IBM Selectrics that he collects and loves using.
