17.01.1968 - it`s arrived!

 

- The Kiskőrös Vegyes Ktsz. 
became involved in the production 
of coffee machines. 
Prototypes of Atomicpress and
 Elektropress coffee makers
 are already in the cooperative.

Greetings to the Hungarian "poison lovers" - 03.12.1968

 For the ones among us who didn't know.

The first business of Giordano Robbiati - Part 2

On the Part 1, i wrote this sentense:

"_ to 2 other places to reorganise, (i am working on it)"

So the first one, and this is backed up by an interview that Franco Balzarotti made with Alfredo Robbiati, is:

Via Brioschi 53.

It fits with the address given on one document of the Licensing of a coffee machine  in Hungary.

Nowadays, the place look like this:

The second address, which proved to be too small, hence moving to Cesare Battisti 22, is:

Via Cornicione, Novate Milanese

Look carefully at the Building with the White industry roofing at the top right corner of the picture.

That's a place we know already, it is indeed: Via Cesare Battisti, 22

This is where he will work until 1958.

Reminds me of that one: here

Stay tuned..

 I am discovering the pictures i took in Budapest in October 2013.

And THEY ROCK!!!

Wait for me until i translate these papers...

In the meantime, i realized that i must have known the address of Giordano Robbiati since 2013.

So much more to talk about...

The first business of Giordano Robbiati - Part 1

This is what Franco Balzarotti wrote to me in an email on the 13th of Mai 2011.

It's the answer given by Alfredo Robbiati to my written questions.

It all fits perfectly to my last discovery:

Next to the train station:

How it looks now:

Closer view:

Alfredo Robbiati was born in 1936 so "8-9 years old" is correct.

After the Bombings of August 1943 of Milan (including the business of Mr. Robbiati, see here, of the street here), the business will move:

_ to 2 other places to reorganize, (i am working on it)

_ then to Via Cesare Battisti 22, Novate Milanese (like seen on this business card here and my research here)

_ and finally to Via Pietro da Cemmo, 4. (see here and here for the plans of the new business)

 ... but why?

The Agreement...

 Oh Yes! Did i hear the voice of one of Imre Simon's son as i was finding these documents.

The last time we met, he was talking of an "agreement".

Little did i know that i could find documents that prove this "agreement".

We are talking about the patent HU140404 of Giordano Robbiati (i posted recently here and here).

For those who discover this Blog now, we are talking about this:

The patent HU140404 was protected from:

(published on 15. December 1950)

until:

(1964)

Very early in the registration process, there was a change.

If you look carefully on the 2 documents citing ROBBIATI, a second number appears: R9099

That's the licencing to Desider Stern taking place in front of our eyes:

(16 August 1949)

(21 April 1948)

Now, a single person could not have financed it alone. Not at that time.

So Money had to be found.

And then comes the AGREEMENT.

If you make a reverse research in the database, searching for the number and not for name (as i usually would do), you will find  Giordano Robbiati of course and Desider Stern, but also these 2:

Maybe you don't recognise their name, so let me help you a little:

They also did something very special VERY EARLY, they trademarked the name "ATOMIC":

(25. November 1947)

10 years later, Imre Simon would do the same:

And other names too, BAMBI (see above) and PICCOLO:

And some time later:

Wait, what's an "Accupress" coffee machine?

To be continued...

Commerce Today, 1973 (USA)

Sometimes, you find Mr. Stern under another "Name" - his first name reduced to the first letter D. (for Desider)... and his middle Name written in Full Josef.

If you want to know more about name changing" in the Jewish community, i advise you to read this:

Giovanni Croci - Novelty Household items

 What novelty items (see here) could Giovanni Croci have sold?

Well, we know more in this snippet of 1950:

"Electric floor suction polisher, electric coffee machine, electrical whisks, hoovers, and small coffee machine"

So it was no surprise to find this patent in America dating 1968:

But let's go back in time a little bit.

Let's say in 1948:

"Novelty household items"

Therefore, it couldn't be more logical what a novelty household item in 1949 would be.

And now, we all stand up and give Sébastien a big round of applause!
