Stored Clean New Hermes Engraving Machine W Alphabet Set Well Kept Gem Look !

PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MACHINE WAS $1250 IN 1998 ! ! Please do not hesitate to make a reasonable offer but realize that this will not last long because if it's pristine condition. There are a lot of dirty filthy engraving machines out there that are missing parts and have not been maintained and look like they were pulled from a lake. I have been dealing with these machines for a long time and it is very rare to find one that is this clean and well-kept.

This machine was wrapped up in a polyethylene bag and tucked away in a storage cabinet in an air-conditioned jewelry store. Please take your time and look at the photographs and you will see that this machine is very close to a new machine. It is very tight and accurate(please see sample plate). Please note that all three of the points that adjust to change the ratio move smoothly. A very thin film of clear machine oil was applied to these slides.

This machine comes complete with a very nice set of alphabet letters and numbers. It also comes with an adapter for the vise jaws that allow you to hold odd shaped objects using a set of pins and silicone covers to prevent scratches on delicate parts like jewelry. The machine also comes with a small stack of practice material. Please note that the machine was well packed. The diamond and the stylus were removed so they will not bounce up-and-down and scratch the machine during transit.

The pantagraph arm is wrapped in foam and strapped to the font tray with tie straps to isolate all motion. Every precaution is taken to ensure that nothing will scratch the machine during shipping. The shipping box is lined with a layer of honeycomb cardboard and masonite hardboard to make a very strong shipping container. Please note that the lid to the font set has a crack in one of the corners from brittle plastic and age. Also please note that to prevent the destruction of the container that holds the brass letters all of the letters will be removed and neatly stacked and wrapped tightly with blue painters tape and placed inside of a padded envelope.

This way you can remove the tape without leaving a residue on the brass and neatly place them back into the container in their proper order in about 5 to 10 minutes. If you pay before noon Eastern time I will mail the machine the very same day by priority mail with insurance and signature tracking.
