Cimbali experts...

Flea market today saw a cimbali , not sure of model but it was tall, brass plate, name inscribed on the front and had a single lever,
SOme wear on the bras plating, since I wouldnt have a use for it except for resale.. can anyone render a guess as which it was and what they go for?

How about a micro La Cimbali?

Did it look anything like this?



or maybe



It would depend on what shape it is in for the value.

I hope this helps.

Don't those have an aluminum boiler? I heard they can corrode faster and a full in and out inspection is a must.

Well i scoured the internet and did not find one image that fit.
It wasnt a micro, it was at least 20in  tall, and was brass not enamel, it was a lever and had the steam wand on the right side.

saw it at a flea marlet, best I can decduct it was a unit from the 50-60s, it was an after thought, the proce was $50, if I thought it had real value and wanted to refurbish , I would have looked it over / asked more questions.
Maybe it will be there next time if he didnt sell it.
I have never tried one of those types so I have no idea how it all works anyways.
