Well folks,
no peerless sunrises here but something from the dawn of home levers I think - a mixture of the faema baby, gaggia gilda and vesuvio stove top types whose name is unknown, to me at least:
This baby recently stirred some collecting passions as it fetched about $800.

Oh my god!
That's a beautiful/horrible art deco accident, cloning of a microscope/thread tapping fixture/espresso machine.
Unbelievable.
Edit- I might add that it even has the appearance of a Brunell hardness tester.

"Once again - your eye catches all! A mutant Atomic with arms!"
Yeah, I know - now if I could just find that damned ring...

Hi All,
Here are a few images of my "Peppina Termomatica", bought two weeks ago on the bay.
I thought it might be of interest since not that many of these can be seen over internet (I couldn't find a single picture, in fact).
I imagine this must be one of the last peppina variations produced by FE-AR before they stopped their business.
Interestingly - and besides the fact it makes the best espresso ever - it exhibits a few particular features (some of them visible on the photos):
- straight lever
- 1000 W
- "on/off" switch (left)
- "cup/steam" switch (right)
- thermostat
- redesigned group (the "roof" of the group is conical, and there is no more group washer but a small rubber bead hold by a spring, the spacers also have disappeared)
- the kettle looks more like "a bulb" and has a rubber collar (decorative)
- removable drip box
Best regards,
missionhb
