Welcome Bon Trading Co.!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

You have now entered my list of "Manufacturers/Contractors*" 

of coffee makers
 sold under the "Atomic" trademark!!!

Brevetti Robbiati (~1948-1983)
S.T.E.M.A.C. (1983-1989)
Stella (~1949-1974)
Szigony M.V. (~1948-2004)
A.&M.G.Sassoon (~1955-~1965)
Bon Trading Co. (~1999-????)

I understand now this trademark registration. At last!

*Excuse my bad english. I don't find a word for what i want to express. To my knowledge, only the Family Robbiati did manufacture the coffee machines themselves. The others were ordering other metal working companies to cast the machines exclusively for their business. Is Contractors the right word?

"The old lady does not tell"

I just stumbled over an article of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, one of the largest German daily newspaper.

You can visit the original text here:

I was amazed.
In Black and White.
What i knew but couldn't prove.
Because "the old lady does not tell"...

But here, "the old lady" might have talked too much:
(Google translation)

A NEW MANUFACTURER???

AFTER A BREAK OF TEN YEARS!!!

The coming back of the return of the Blue Box (Part 3)

The more i see the Box (link), the more it makes me tend to suppose it's a S.T.E.M.A.C.

No proof though.

But the Blue Box reappeared this time in Australia... and the coffee machine looked very modern.

Yet another exhibition about "Austrian Design"...

... and no mention of Desider Stern.

I look on my right side to my new acquisition.

Without doubt, something has to be done about it.
