1963 Hermes 3000

I have always wanted one of these Hermes 3000 portables--especially in this style. It came with the brushes and manual.

NASCO typewriter--in the SeaFirst Building

I know nothing about this typewriter, beyond the fact that it was made by Konryu/Citizen Buisiness Machines in Japan. Its serial number is 009444. Can anybody tell me anything about it? If so, please either comment, or send an email to typewriterresearch (at) gmail.com. 

UPDATE: Based on online sales in Portugal, NASCO may be a Portuguese brand.

Lowest escalator ceilings I have ever seen. I think that they are around 6'6 maybe...
