Nice piece of background decoration... Part 2

Because some things belong to the present ... or the near future (Christmas),
And some belong to the past... or on a kitchen shelf.

Earliest proof of marketing of "Atomic" trademarked espresso machine in Australia - 1958!!!

I have been fighting with myself and my preconceived ideas since the start of my research, everyday.

And albeit all the facts i have found over the years, there is always a little mistrusting voice about "stories" from Australia and a particular reseller.

For me, facts have a high Status. It freed from useless discussions.

I was re-reading what was documented in ATMO (Australian Trademark Office) 12, 64 and 98.






You'll notice some words or dates come more often than others:
ATOMIC, NOTARAS, ROBBIATI1965, COFFEE MACHINE

I visited the website of Bon Trading Co. and read this:


"proud of our role in introducing the ATOMIC®"???

*****
The following articles date for the first one: June 3, 1958
the second: September 2, 1958





(you will have recognised the 
A.&M.G. SASSOON  - British made -  
"ATOMIC" Espresso coffee maker Standard Model with Jug lid)

1958!!!

That's 6 years before the first found advert from Bon Trading:

(you will have recognised the 
A.&M.G. SASSOON  - British made -  "ATOMIC" Espresso coffee maker Capuccino Model)

It was a pleasant surprise to discover that ATMO also means:

ACCORDING TO MY OPINION

Recently, I was reminded by a famous website thread moderator that everyone has the right to have an opinion.
Yes.

Apart from me, i keep to my facts.

"an inventor of considerable genius" - Death of Clarence U. Buck - 13th of June 1910


Here a link to his Percolator, patent published on the 24th of May 1910:

Original jug handle?

Obviously, i have no idea.
It was found on a Brevetti Robbiati Model A (Tipo G.),
on which the other parts were original and of older manufacture.

Great piece of advice: Destroy its mint condition!

From

Seldom, Beautiful, Mint condition, Striking


to

Regular, Usual, Boring, Destroyed



Great advice indeed!



Likely unlikely

What you will witness now might be the first ever documented Box Reproduction!!!

STARBUCKAROO

While looking at this picture, i realised that:

_ It was not made by the Family Robbiati,
_ The badge says it is a reproduction,
_ I don't know where it was made,
_ The badge shows undeniable good humour,
_ The Italian on the Badge is perfect.

And you?

But if this object talks to you, then buy it.

Synergy

If Lucio wouldn't have sent me this crop of a 1915 Italian Newspaper,

Macchina a vapore per Caffè espresso

I wouldn't have found - while researching on it - that 
there was an Export/Import business going by the name A.S. Sassoon in Milano in 1951.


And the question:
What did Mr. Robbiati invent?
is becoming even more difficult to answer.
(i hear some say - in the back of the room - the pressure valve in the knob...
yep! Well, until proof of the contrary... as usual)

is / period

If the red flames can be explained by the successive ink printing procedures,
the is  & . remain very mysterious.

Was is forgotten in the first place and later added?
Was the period (full stop) present in the first leaflet or later removed?

Base for Stella Coffee machines Typ 402 S


This is the advantage of being interested in a History
which nobody uncovered before.

You see with other eyes.

This time, i really appreciate the fact that someone else (the seller)
thought that it would be of interest (for me!).

A piece i only knew from a leaflet i saw the first time Mm. Stern visited me.

Since then, it has always been in the back of my head.




This is it together with the 104 base:





The list of "WANTED" items becomes thinner and thinner.

... and thinner...
