Brown cellar tape - ROBBIATI BREVETTI - MILANO (Italy)
Well, you know, i know: Not much expertise to be relied on from me, especially in the cellar tape department.
Anyone to tell me if that's real?
It has been used to hold packaging paper surrounding Jug and Portafilter together.

The act of the original manufacturer or a of dizzy reseller in Australia?
My hotline is on, waiting for your comments.
