Description from the seller

This item is a vintage Hermes Rocket portable typewriter, manufactured in Switzerland during the 1940s or 1950s. Known as one of the smallest and lightest typewriters ever produced, designed for ultimate portability. Features a distinctive "tilting" carriage mechanism for capital letters rather than a lifting one. 
Some keyboard keys are somewhat worn, as depicted in photos.
Comes with its transporting case.
