In a most recent post Original Switmus Mod A1 silent burner. NOS in box, excellent example, the box with an Italy connection. Oskar inquires: "It would be really interesting to get the full history of this manufacture". The topic has come up in past, I open this discussion, any and all comments are encouraged. Last year Staffan posted Roma / Ialma stove with Switmus burner ...roarer burner. "Quite neat looking stove, but I have no clue of its origin." In 2011 @mta , from Malta, posted his switmus stove , roarer burner, he shared "made by switmus stove ltd". The above 3 are table top 1 burner ranges. ---------------------- There are also classic brass 3 legger "SWITMUS", i presume in both roarer and silent. I don't have grasp on these examples, one here A google hit showed a " SWITMUS original No.1 export T.S.W." ----------------------- Back to Oskar's example, may be best example, @Oskarsweden , please help by looking closely to confirm: so yours says model A1 on the stove? What other lettering/text is present on the stove, including under burner caps and filler cap. SWITMUS is Trademark name, which might leave the maker name in the unknown category? For the 3 ranges, there's an Italian origin, if any. Re *CARVER Cartiere Di Verona -Milano- (Italy) on Oskar's box: Search *that and find one very pricey set of glasses BUT i do not place much confidence in the description provided. For myself I'll not insert that speculation, i will provide the mark on that box (of amber glasses) given 1960-69 year estimate. as compared to Oskar's NOS -> cc @kerophile who has posted as much or more than anyone to-date on topic. and fyi @Staffan Rönn THANK YOU both and all who posted details
Hi @OMC CARVER Cartiere Di Verona -Milano- (Italy) Cartiere translates as Paper mill, so could he the supplier of the cardboard box. Best Regards, Kerophile.
Yes i agree with you @kerophile. I think this is where the box was made. Some information below. The history of the Burgo Group @OMC Mod 1A is printed in the bottom corner of the box, I will attach a picture tomorrow. Regards Oskar.
thank you. so a 3 legger example on the web was stamped on top: " SWITMUS original No.1 export T.S.W." re speculation that these Switmus brass products/pieces were maybe made under license or under agreement, for me, i then wonder what might the "T.S.W." stand for? Is it also a fit for 1960s Italy? All we see to date (not much) points to Italy.
I think the balance of opinion is for an African licensed product: Country of Origin? Best Regards, Kerophile.
here is another SWITMUS 3 legger on CCS it is not a match to the one on the web but they both do have "export" incl. into name stamped on top. not dismissing Africa but pursuing T.S.W., India, also established brass stove makers, has a current T.S.W. Technical Support Wing (dates back to 40s) related to manufactured products import/export, licensing... ------------------ Oskar's box sourced from Milan (60 km from Swiss border)... i know this is a stretch but, possible? SWITMUS is a SWiss company importing Indian brass parts and the Swiss boxing them up... that can't make sense, or could it.
shhh not a "bump". posting an FYI /cross-reference. please direct comments to F.I.A.P. Stoves Q&A , a post w/more accurate, most recent details. FIAP Co. of Milan is parent company of the SWITMUS brand.
