Description
[Tom Hanks]. 1963 Hermes 3000. (Serial Number 3170162). 13 3/4" (L) x 13 1/2" (W) x 6 1/2" (H). Black ribbon. Normal wear from use.A two-time Academy Award winner, Tom Hanks has solidified his place as one of the most beloved actors in modern American film. Hanks rose to prominence with his performance in the 1988 fantasy comedy Big and has been steadily producing comedies and dramas for the last three decades. He has been featured in countless magazines, including two issues of TIME (included with the lot). Alongside his numerous acting awards, Hanks has received prestigious honors such as the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the French Legion of Honor.
In addition to his notable reputation in film, Hanks is also a well-known typewriter collector. Hanks' collecting focus relies on this history of the machine; Soboroff's collection has been built around their owners. When the actor learned of Soboroff's collection, he graciously sent over his personal Hermes 3000 typewriter with a signed note (typed on a typewriter of course and included here), to join The Collection. Accompanied by related ephemera.
Provenance: From The Soboroff Typewriter Collection
