Not Badges, yet... not less interesting!

Yesterday, I presented you with my collection of badges.

Here is a collection of marks, engraving, stickers and "other" stuff.

Where shall we start?

Here some Stickers from Brevetti Robbiati on "Atomic" coffee makers:

Here Bakelite knobs from Stella (Model 402), Szigony M.V. ("Piccolo"), les établissements Tarditi ("Nec Tar") and Szigony M.V. ("Bambi) again.

And these are marks / engraving on "La Bikinette", and 3 machines / jugs from the Szigony M.V business, 6 from the Stella company (Model 104, 402E, 505E), 1 from the Tarditi company ("Nec Tar", 5904 under a "ETNA", 2 from a "Minipress" (Szigony M.V.) and twice V125 from a "Electa" marked coffee machine from the Gaeteno Delle Vedove & Remo Delle Vedove business.

Price of a Brevetti model (A) or (B) before 1958

The business Brevetti Robbiati was in Novate Milanese between 1948 and 1958.

On the backside of this Business card, you will find this order:

2900 Lira per machine

That's:

45€

58US$

55AU$

Knock knock... there is a letter for you.

Rule 101 - Keep it loose!

Applies to my brain too!

The reverse side can reserve surprises

Beautiful Stella Typ 405!

Sometimes, in my head...

... there is only one thing, but it is a beautiful thing!
