Rare and beautiful electric steam-pressure coffee maker produced by the renowned Italian brand Ro-Re (RORE), dating back to the 1950s / 1960s, the golden era of the Italian economic boom and industrial design. This lot stands out for its exceptional completeness and extraordinary state of preservation, making it ideal for discerning collectors: - CONDITION: Truly excellent vintage condition. The heavy brass body features a beautiful, shiny mirror-like chrome plating, excellently preserved with minimal and normal signs of age. The boiler is clean and in good order. Electrically untested due to the age of the original wiring. - AGE: 1950s / 1960s. - MATERIAL: Heavy chrome-plated brass and matching ivory-colored thermosetting resin details. - ORIGIN: Italy (Italian Design, produced in the Lombardy/Milan area). - DIMENSIONS: Total height 19 cm (compact collectible model); Maximum depth 16 cm (from the rear pins to the spout); Base diameter 9 cm. - COLORS: Shiny silver (chrome), Ivory, and gold logo. - WEIGHT: 700 grams (including the cable). EXCLUSIVE HIGHLIGHTS OF THIS LOT: 1. RARE DUAL SPOUT: Equipped with the original Y-shaped split chrome spout to serve two cups simultaneously directly at the table. 2. FLAWLESS RESIN FINISHES: The rear handle, top knob, and lower base collar in ivory resin are 100% intact, completely free of hairline cracks, splits, or heat burns. The golden brand logo on the base is intact and sharp. 3. RARE ORIGINAL CABLE INCLUDED: Features the hard-to-find native vintage power cord (1.20 meters long) with separate independent terminal plugs. 4. VINTAGE 3-PIN SYSTEM: A fascinating electromechanical mechanism that allows manual voltage selection (120V - 150V - 220V) by moving the two independent cord plugs onto the three rear pins, following the arched diagram engraved on the bottom of the machine. 5. INTACT ORIGINAL GASKET: The original round rubber gasket underneath the top knob is still present, flexible, and healthy, ensuring a tight steam seal. 6. COMPLETE INTERNAL COMPONENTS: Unscrewing the knob grants access to the original funnel basket and the upper perforated disc filter with a central hole, all included and photographed disassembled. A masterful display piece embodying the elegance of vintage Italian bar and kitchenware. The cups shown in some ambient photos are for illustrative and proportion purposes only and are not included in the lot.
