"It was quite a party..." - 18 September 1955
In 2011, i was in email-contact with a "member of Aubrey's family" and she informed me that "he did not have any children".
So to my surprise, i discover that Marion Gay Duffy had - at least - one son, prior to wedding Aubrey Sassoon: 13 year-old PETER DUFFY !!! (Born 1938)
The family lived at "48, Albert Hall Mansions" (Planned by Driver and Rew), built in Queen Ann style in 1879, by Edinburgh-born architect Richard Norman Shaw. (more information here: https://www.designingbuildings.co.uk/)
The connection with Scottland (See my Post of October 2011: here) is interesting: "... on holiday from Gordonstoun" - This private school is situated north of Elgin. (see link from 2011 above).
I guess that the mentionned "Duke of Edinburgh" who "was educated" there was Prince Philipp (the husband of Queen Elisabeth II, father of King Charles III).
Another information from this newspaper cut about Aubrey: "... cousin of millionnaire bachelor Sir Victor Sassoon".
For your Information, there is an exhibition in the Jewish Museum in London at this very moment:

About Marion: " ... aged 38 ... "
So Marion Gay Duffy was born in 1917 (or about).

It slowly becomes clear that i am more interested in people than coffee makers.
And my blog is a personal attempt to find those who connected with these brewing objects.
Who were they? How do they fit in the puzzle of life?
As much as i despise 'sentionalism', today, it offers me a slice of life of Aubrey and Marion Sassoon,
and gives me some details about their life, and sparkles to continue the search...

Did i think i would ever see this machine?
No
I knew it existed... well, at least, for the time of a photo shooting... maybe in 1952.
So... 70+ years after its manufacture, 12 years after Mm. Stern came for an evening meal at home with a folder under her arm, here it is:
