Hi all,

Here is a "Duchessina" by Ducale. Late 50's. Spring lever. This is a minute version of their bar machine "Duchessa" (compare witht the size of the baby faemina). It looks like a small Faema "president" as well.
The machine could be either plumbed, or filled from top.
No doubts this machine inspired the later modern clones by SAMA, Bezzera, Olympia, Pontevecchio...
Another version with a bare boiler was commercialized under the name of "Lady Duchessa".

Cheers,
F

Hi All,

And this blue one is an "Antares" by Carimali. Mid 50's. Spring lever. Pressurized boiler but neither steam nor water outlets. The home version of their Antares machine line for bars (identical group and distinctive lever).
The group is endowed with a grip handle.
Best,
F

Both very nice, but I really like the Antares! Beautiful machines, as you usually post - thank you!

I'll have to second Richard's "Wow" on the Duchessina; that little sweetie is cuter than the Obamas' puppy. And you can drink the liquids it secretes.
