£1,975.00

One out of 4 Typewriters that belonged to writer Tom Arden (David Rain). 

The Story Behind these typewriters  

Three others already listed: Olivetti Lettera 22- Noiseless Remington and Chrome plated Smith Corona (If interested in all before any one sells individually, please contact us) 

By all means, it seems that David Rain took a lot of care for it. We replaced the platen with a new one.  

We have always insisted that Hermes 3000 ( 2000 as well) , Hermes Media 3 and Even the Baby Hermes are Smoothest typewriters to Type on due to the fact they have a rare and special dynamic in their Keys making it Excellent for long hours of Typing with no Pressure on the Fingers.

By all Means, Its worth Every Penny.

We pride our selves of being one of the few Typewriter experts who can manage working with this Delicate Machine.
