Hermes 9, very plasticky on the outside, but quite a nice machine to use. Serial number is 8401371 (1972). It has the Hermes key tops, with their pronounced dishing, and a pretty standard font. No exclamation mark.
Best feature — you can see the very clean and even strike, with the highest ascenders and lowest descenders all nice and sharp.
Worst feature may be the styling and the plastic outers. Very uninspiring; but that’s not such a big deal when you are typing busily.
In summary, a very nice standard machine, which would have been an excellent choice for the office of yore. These days it would be perfect if you want to bash out a novel or something.
Inside the case we have a 72 in a circle and the arrow points to 9 — Sept 72?
