all, @Nicola Francesco Elia, I took liberty to post this FIAP Q&A here but I defer to you. The research you shared 2 years ago, seems to me, is the most enlightening on-topic. F.I.A.P. Italian stove F.I.A.P. being the maker /factory in Milan that offers multiple brands. I was inspired to post this having seen the most recent example with "Switmus" silent burner. EDIT: FIAP apparently maker of 2 branded burners: SWITMUS & SWE-DEN /SWExDEN. recapping and pasting text w/some translations to allow CCS search (my try at CCS "quote" of you failed) Nicola: "F.I.A.P. Stands for Fabbrica Italiana Apparecchi a Petrolio, located in Milan. It is known for the registered brands: FIAP (I know stoves with this brand) Impero (I know stoves with this brand) Switmus (I know stoves with this brand) Baltic (I know stoves with this brand) Swe-den (I have seen burners only with this brand) Here some documents" <- from link brevetto per marchio d'impresa titolare, ditta: F.I.A.P. Fabbrica Italiana Apparecchi a Petrolio =Trademark patent holder, company: F.I.A.P. Italian Factory of Petroleum Appliances (1913 date may be beside the point for this topic). data di deposito. anottazion speciali = date of filing. special annotation -------- 5 documents from above link, confirm the 5 FIAP registered trademarks of Italy, : SWExDEN: FIAP trademark filed 1947 Apr.. Annotation 1951 Apr BALTIC: FIAP trademark filed 1950 Mar.. Annotation 1950 Oct SWITMUS: FIAP trademark filed 1950 Mar.. Annotation 1951 Mar F.I.A.P.: FIAP trademark filed 1947 Apr.. Annotation 1948 Mar IMPERO: FIAP trademark filed 1947 Apr.. Annotation 1948 Mar Again, I defer to you Nicola. "..the most recent example": 60s style stove (#1. it's beautiful !!). I agree with all that is posted (in both links). PS gieorgi is missed. ====== @Bebo THANK YOU for posting 60s style stove (#1. it's beautiful !!). I presume you have checked and the only marking on entire stove is the Switmus branded silent burner? I agree w/you by the way, F.I.A.P.-made sounds right. We've seen F.I.A.P. brand stoves with only a label for the brand name. That maybe the case with yours and it fell off. It IS really nice. I'm green with envy. Congrats.
Thanks @OMC , if it helps, I'll add two "Switmus No. 1 Export" stoves, one with a "Baltic" roarer burner and one with a "Switmus No. 11" silent burner. Enjoy!
thank you. 1st a rewording of my comment, jus slightly different: "We've seen F.I.A.P.-made stoves with only a label for the brand name. That maybe the case with your 60s style stove and the label fell off. --- re your "...if it helps, I'll add two..." Definitely helpful, thank you. Clearly FIAP made their own burners and your examples also add yet another branded burner (BALTIC) and on a SWITMUS stove, ha!. Makes at least 3 branded burners: SWITMUS, SWExDEN /SWE-DEN, BALTIC... Thx again. PS all, Bebo, Nicola, If ever we confirm FIAP 5 brands, approx years of production (beginning & end. wishful thinking). Seems maybe it begins post WW2 Milan??? (or are there any pre-WW2?) there is earlier discussion SWITMUS Q&A minus the more accurate details from above. that convo had thoughts of such brands also made outside of Italy. We may have ruled that out? given Nicola revelations above. thanks again
