Hi all! Recently acquired this Bialetti Moka Express manufactured somewhere around 1950-1954. As you can see it has a closed handle made of bakelite and the inner shaft has what looks like a chimney cap. Also the original gasket is made of black rubber. I’ll leave the link where you can read more about the history of coffee in Italy. https://caffettiere.blogspot.com/2016/11/caffe-analisi-della-mancata-evoluzione.html?m=1
