1966 - 1983

I remember the time asking for information about an (not THE) Australian importer of Mr. Robbiati's coffee makers: lack of answers disguised in fake news is all i could get.

Until i discovered Cluster of Clues... while others were looking for The Truth!

Here, in this Flickr album, i gathered very similar adverts (yes, they are all different).

They date from 14.07.1966 to 03.11.1983.

What happened after 1983 in Australia after Giordano Robbiati stopped manufacturing these machines?

10 days ago... 30 years ago...

There would be so much to say about this picture...

What comes to my mind looking at this "Mona Lisa" smile:

17 March 1987 -  4 years after Giordano Robbiati's business (Brevetti Robbiati) was transferred to his son Alfredo Robbiati (S.T.E.M.A.C.).
17 March 1987 - 2 years before S.T.E.M.A.C. closed.

What that meant for this young lady?

Leaflet - Various Models - Stella (Wien) - Desider Stern

POST-TRUTH

If POST-TRUTH is Oxford Dictionaries Word of the Year 2016,

then i am very looking forward to 2017.

It is going to be a promising year.

Happy New Year.

A special thought to those who knew everything from the start.

I am still learning... 

...everyday.

Nice piece of background decoration... Part 2

Because some things belong to the present ... or the near future (Christmas),

And some belong to the past... or on a kitchen shelf.
