Things are going... and going and going...

Right there!!!

Look right there:

You will see something similar to this:

or this:

Or this (if you have a Stella Model 105):

Les autres "Tarditi"

There are other machines of "Les Établissements Tarditi", that i would like to see (let alone to own).

This one:

Or this one, named "La Tarditi Express":

But none of these would fulfil my heart (and my collection) as much as this one:

So if you own one of these, please send me a picture!!!

(that applies to the "La Tarditi Express" too!!!!)

120 instead of 8341

Of course, seen like this...

This picture has lost completely its charm.

Sure...

Sure, i could...

Sure, i could tell you a story about SEARS...

... ROEBUCK and CO.

Sure, I could tell you that S.A. stands for "Sociedad Anónima".


Sure, I could tell you its address you will find on this receipt:

At the crossing of the 2 streets: Reina and Amistad in the Capital city of Habana.

(n°2 to be precise)

Sure, I could tell you that a store opened in Habana, Cuba in 1942.

Sure, I could tell you that a commemorative coin was produced to celebrate the 10 years existence of the store.

Sure, I could post a picture of the store:

Sure, I could tell you about the "Maid of Honor".

Sure, I could tell you it was one of many trademarks registered by Sears.

Sure, I could tell you it was used for "Housewares, Kitchen Accessories".

Sure, I could tell you that this trademark guaranteed "best quality" like on this small metal plate:

Sure, I could even tell you that the store was expropriated by the Cuban Government

 on Oct. 25, 1960.

But that would be telling you stories.

4 out of 5 machines i know of,

were found in the region around Milan.

So:

Were these machines ever sold in CUBA?

I don't know,

for sure.
