Raritäten: Vintage Prospekte und Bilder

Ein Prospekt von Cimbali aus dem Jahr 1974, die Tassen sind bestimmt dem ein oder anderen bekannt

 

[English, sorry...]

Just discovered that marvel yesterday (I know, nearly 3 years late...).
I can't confirm the precise journal, but the date is for sure April-May 1950: there's only one race which had all these drivers on these cars at the same time (especially Fangio partnering Zanardi on an Alfa-Romeo, Bassi and Bernabei on Ferrari, and Fagioli on Osca), the Mille Miglia from April 23d-24th 1950.

That date also matches the Gaggia picture, that is certainly from the 1950 Milan Fair that took place from April 12th to 30th.

What is very interesting is that the article announces the "imminent launch of the Gilda model, for families". This is very surprising knowing that the model was officially launched two years later (in May 1952). The patent itself is from 1952.

Concerning the stand, it corresponds precisely to that one :

A picture on which we can now put a date, thanks to ezlbaak's find. ;-)

1950 ! Wow !
That's one of the earliest article on Gaggia for sure.
