Atomic (BREVETTI ROBBIATI) Lisboa

 According to the seller, this Italian Model A (Tipo Grande) was bought in an antiquity shop in Porto (Portugal) many years ago.

Thanks for sharing the picture of this unique badge!

Auction: here

That, my friends, comes from an "Atomic World leading expert" - It didn't age well (around 2011)

Swiss Newspaper - Oberländer Tagblatt - 19. October 1945

American. An American newspaper reports that since the invention of the atomic bomb, hundreds of products bearing the name "Atomic" have been launched. Soap, cigarette, and automobile companies are churning consumers with publications about their latest atomic inventions. But not there Enough. On the first day, immediately after the invention became known, newborns with the name "Atomic" were registered with more than 20 civil registrars. In the same way, "Jeep" has become a first name. We're smiling today, and yet it's like this: in 20 years - perhaps no one will be surprised then - the "Atomic" and the "Jeep" will envision themselves as a newly married couple.

By far the coolest thing i have seen today!!!

Amazing contribution from the italian collector Mr. P.

How long would it take to gather these 2 machines?

How long did it take to find them?

I don't have much time anymore to Blog, but i am always happy to receive these kind of pictures and get to know other collectors around the world.

And i don't know when, but we will surely meet Mr. P.

Grazie!

VILÁGSZABALDOMI

More than once, i was amused by the claim "World patent" on a Bon Trading leaflet see Here

That's until my Hungarian translator noticed the above mentionned word on this Szigony leaflet Here (around 1948-9)

VILÁGSZABALDOMI

=

WORLD PATENT

If you need more information...

 

Did Bahco-Condrup Ltd. continue selling Robbiati's coffee machines after A. & M.G. stopped the production?

 Here is the Bahco-Condrup Ltd. leaflet i am referring to: Here

You can make a worthy contribution to this Blog and my knowledge by sending me a scan of the following leaflet. Many Thanks in advance!

Find an elderly person who understand old fashionned Magyar

 That is what i did.

https://zsurpubi.hu/cikk/4132-ki-volt-a-legeslegjobb-magyar-maszek/

The google translation didn't make much sense. So i went to see a elderly former librarian lady, originating from Hungary who translated it for me:

***

She: We don't use those words anymore, how old is the article?

Me: 2012

She: Then the writer has known those times.

***

"Black" means independent. (Red meant Gouvernement-near)

So Imre Simon was a perfectionnist, he was famous for it. He was running the best "Black" business.

He also left some impressions among its customers, admonesting customers for not taking care of their machines, that they bought 30 years ago, when they brought them for repair.

His wife was the lightnig rod. She is also described as "more forgiving, understanding and empathetic".

I posted a picture of her already in 2013:

preposterous

I am glad i am researching the history of Robbiati's coffee makers.

Anything after 1989 is so ludicrous.

Here, the authorised repairers for Bon Trading Pty Ltd is using a picture of Jack Grieve on their website.

Jack Grieve's (Australian Bellman CX-66 reseller) picture:

It reminds me of a recent post:

https://unasalusvictisnullamsperaresalutem.blogspot.com/2022/02/scottionline-si-mi-prendi-in-giro-una.html

Also this: on Bon Trading's website you will read:

"we are very proud of our role in introducing the ATOMIC to Australia and preserving its manufacture for generations to come"

There are good reasons to think that's nowhere near what they think they are:

_ Patent registration in Australia in 1949 here

_ Advert David Jones from 1958 here, another one here

Preserving the manufacture:

_ S.T.E.M.A.C. closed in 1989, 6 years after BREVETTI ROBBIATI (here)

Grotesque!

The "Culinor" is Swiss made

You have read it first on this Blog.

(Post under construction)

The "Culinor" espresso coffee machine

 This machine got sold a few years ago in - no joke - Australia.

This took me a while but here it goes: Swiss Mystery solved!

 Alfred (Alfredo) Hatz - Lugano (Switzerland) (link):

- The "Culinor" espresso coffee machine (link)

- Patent application in Australia for a "device for making Coffee" n°29123 (link) through Dulac pty Ltd. (link)

Fritz Lüdi-Zumstein - Grenchen (Switzerland) (old link):

- The "Cafex" espresso coffee machine (link) sold by Busalco AG

- Patent application in Switzerland for "Appareil pour café express" n°267088 (old link)

With Old link, i mean, the information there is not up-to-date anymore. I thought Lüdi-Zumstein was involved in Culinor.

Coffee machine sold by Rollar Electric Ltd. Zürich, Switzerland, 14 December 1948

 

The CAFEX espresso coffee machine - sold by Busalco A.G., Zürich, Switzerland - 11 June 1949

 

22 Mai 1949:

"Culinor" - The Queen of Coffee makers - Switzerland - 1 December 1948

"Many men give so-called secondary gifts, i.e. gifts from which they also benefit. ... This means, for example, the "Culinor", who has been called the queen of coffee machines and can brew her six cups of coffee ... in 3 minutes... "

Dulac Pty. Ltd. ( A. Hatz) - Coffee pressure cooker - Mai-June 1950 - Australia

 Alfred (Alfredo) Hatz was managing director of Dulac Pty. Ltd.

You'll find this information here:

Dulac Pty. Ltd., which represents a group of Swiss manufacturer, has placed most of its patents on the Australian market.

They include such useful things as ... coffee pressure cooker...

Inside Bon Trading

 There is no doubt, that the leaflets are to be found somewhere in there.

Sometimes, one just needs someone kind enough to just open a box and share.

That's all it takes. One person.

and remember i am still looking for other leaflets of this Australian Robbiati's retailer since 2012:

About Walter Schauble...

I guess there weren't a 1000 Walter Schauble in Australia in 1949 so, you might as well read about his life:

http://exhibitions.cmag.com.au/building-a-life/biographies/walter-scha-uble

The whole story is just amazing.

Congratulation for the website and thanks you Canberra Museum+Gallery for telling the story.

Alfred Hatz also patented this in 1957

 

Remember Alfred Hatz ... no? How about Alfredo Hatz?

 I talked about him 3 years ago:

https://unasalusvictisnullamsperaresalutem.blogspot.com/2019/03/revoca-di-mandato-alfredo-hatz-lugano.html

He patented this in Switzerland in 1952:

That reminds me of this picture:

more similar to the second patent drawing:

Mik currently researching on...

Alfred Hatz, 300 Little Collins-Street, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (importers)

Walter Shäuble, 60 Hortense Street, Burwood, Melbourne ... (is he the one involved in the "Jennings Germans"?)

Alfred Carl Ziegl (Ziegler?)

Germans & Swiss immigrants made the application of Giordano Robbiati's patent for Australia.

Amazing.

You are Australian and wish to help? Many thanks in advance!

Yours,

Mik
