The origins of this brand date back to 1894 , when the brothers Giovanni Battista, Secondo, Delfino and Carlo Bertoldo from Forno Canavese ( TO ), after a period of training in Terni , returned to their town and started an artisan business, the Fratelli Bertoldo, manufacturer of carpentry products , kitchen and gardening tools .
With the ever-increasing spread of coffee consumption, Bertoldo specialized in the production of coffee grinders (the first ever in Italy), and from there the Tre Spade brand was born, with which from that moment on all the products of the Piedmontese company were marked.
The item is a beautiful light and dark blue coffee grinder with removable ground coffee tin at the bottom.
Worn label with legible Tre Spade
Due to age the grinder has age related wear and slight peeling of the paint on the top. The metal work requires a good polishing.
