iving helmets & suites on genuine articles like Siebe, Gorman
Topic: Collectables
Diving Helmet Argentina
Diving Helmet Argentina. Diving helmets & suites on genuine articles like Siebe, Gorman, Morse, or the US MK V can be found in Argentina….. It’s amazing what happens when you find those outstanding diving helmets from the late 19th century in good conditions, able to be used. Going into the deepness in such antique garment is sort of a time machine, a ticket to an experience words come short to describe. Something is for sure, diving devises collectors do know much about a breath taking experience. This is not just a show room item mint just for admiration; it’s the key to a world that has gone by, that we haven’t had the chance to enjoy. And yet, better, we can enjoy in several different and new ways for we acknowledge our present. Its like if an archaeologist could purchase some kind of vintage object that allowed him or her to re live from this present time, those prehistoric days of dinosaurs and tribes.

Teddy Bear, MAde in Argentina

Teddy Bear made in Argentina 
Real Estates and boutique hotel in Buenos Aires After the 2001 crisis in Argentina, the so called one to one economy was replaced by an other strategy: devaluation. This means that what on 2001 cost 200 pesos, or 200 dollars, nowadays is just 66.67 dollars. All prices have been rearranged considering this new economic plan that's been organized by the Argentinean government together with the IMF and the World Bank. And Real Estates are no exception, the proportion in which properties all over Buenos Aires have drawn depends of course on many factors, such as location, type of property, etc. At the same time the Argentinean economy has been reconditioned to work in a new configuration, a service area that has been growing ever since is tourism. All throughout the 90s visiting Buenos Aires -our capital city- or taking some time off at one of our magnificent sky centers in the Patagonia region was as expensive as touring through Rome, Paris or skiing in Switzerland. Nowadays for the exchange rate is so favorable towards the American or European currencies Argentina has become a much more appealing vacation resort. For those who love and enjoy great dinning, terrific sights in a dream holiday and don't want to be robbed off by the extraordinary high European rates this is the answer. No wonder the constant flow of visitors we've been having lately. At the same time judging by local and foreign statistics there's been a growth in two specific developing markets: business travel and more specifically collectors. They have long noticed the potential of locally produced items of yarn and are now taking on an increasingly growing market. This gorgeous metropolis has all the luxury and comfort to offer its visitors with high class lodging, delightful food and amazing cultural and social activities. However, within the developing collectibles market there's much to do. In terms of products and information, The Buenos Aires Toy Museum has been in the vanguard of information and items collection ( www.the-ba-toymuseum.com ).Working locally and in collaboration with American and European fellow collectors this museum has been rescuing this historical and cultural patrimony as well as recovering those amazing one of a kind vintage objects. The museum has been developing so far within the Internet. In the world of collectibles the globalized technology is our best allied for it allows us to connect worldwide with fellow collectors, exchange valuable data and items for our collections. To give the museum a physical location is the obvious next step in its evolution line. However, in these days the Museum's project has broadened into a collectors club. Considering the most favorable conditions within the specific market (collectibles), the evolution of Argentina's Real Estates market and the increasingly flow of tourists to these southern and beautiful lands we believe the best possible advance in this field is a boutique hotel. This hotel would be unique, for each room is in itself a personal show room with original vintage Argentinean collectibles. Our philosophy is simple, we truly believe in offering the top of the top comfort that one can surely get at any of the marvelous five stars hotels (Sheraton, Hilton, Four Seasons, etc) but within a very personalized atmosphere specially arranged to fit our visitors needs. The boutique and unique collectibles hotel would be located in one of Buenos Aires most divine areas: San Isidro. This suburban area is just a few minutes ride from the nosiness of the city. It's a tranquil river side happening zone, surrounded by great restaurants, pubs and cafes; terrific art galleries and outstanding spots such as the old city of San Isidro, reminding us about our colonial and early 18th century past, an intense cultural and social atmosphere that makes this area the perfect location for our Boutique hotel. The Buenos Aires collectibles boutique hotel is an outstanding inversion opportunity. The market's conditions couldn't be better. The timing is just as precise as it could ever be. This superb lodging is what Buenos Aires and its visitors need. Our Boutique unique hotel and collectors club would be the first one in Latin America, and there's no better place to start than Buenos Aires. For this port side city has historically been at the vanguard of Latin America's cultural and social development. A local unexplored market so far is awaiting to be updated to the world's latest trends in show rooms and lodging that will converge in this outstanding boutique hotel Latin American styled.

Kinder Made in Argentina
Topic: Collectables
Kinder Ferrero Collectibles
Kinder Ferrero Collectibles, from all South America,Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Central America. We SELL Kinder FROM Latin America, world wide Toy dealer. Production & Distribution The producer for Kinder Latin America is Argentina in its Buenos Aires Plant. They distribute to regional distributers such as Brazil, the Andes region and Argentina itself. Argentina-Uruguay Brazil-Uruguay Andes Region: Ecuador, Chile, Bolivia, Peru, Venezuela and Colombia Collections The collections that are being produced in the Latin American region are "out of phase" in relation with the collections launched in Europe. The difference is of an approximate gap of two years, so what it is currently the 2007 collection in Germany or Italy, it will be the 2008-9 collection in Argentina and the rest of the region. At the same time there's another divergence in the collections within Latin America. For, while there are 100 different toy-surprises every year, each region gets differential distributions of the collections, therefore there are differnt options of surprises at the same time in each of the regions.

Kinder Ferrero Argentina,. We sell World Wide! 
We sell TOYS from all South America, Argentina to Mexico! Kinder Chocolate eggs an outstanding Italian invention The story of the delicious egg-shaped chocolate begins in the northern area of Italy, more precisely in Piedmont, during the times of the Second World War. The man behind the chocolate was the bright Pietro Ferrero. Ferrero was living in a time of shortage of products due to the international conflict, and so he began to think of alternative products to produce his chocolates and candy, and so he came up with the idea of combining the local hazelnuts with a small portion of imported chocolate, and magic began!! The result was a delightful piece of candy with a novel flavor, and it was christened chiandujot. The success was immediate, not only because they had come up with a new and interesting product, but also because the product was perfect for the market they targeted, nutritional, rich in energy for those harsh war years and produced with mostly local products. Pietro an Giovanni Ferrero were the conceivers of the idea, but the project began to take colossal dimensions when their immediate relatives –brothers and nephews- took upon the challenge of taking the concept to a broader level. During the 1950s Ferrero chocolates expanded throughout Europe. The German branch, was the pioneer example of a trend that would latter take shape in what’s known as the internationalization of the agro-alimentary The 60s would open with a new product, a treasured and delicious one: Nutella. The importance of Ferrero in Europe was doubtless. By 1970, Ferrero and its delicious products were all over the world, having not only modernized the lines of production, but also consolidating the brand all over the world, reaching for the very important trans oceanic markets in the US and Central America. It is at this time, during the late 70s, when the fabulous and delicious Kinder Surprise is conceived and launched internationally. From then on, the growth and development of what began as a witty idea to sort out the problem of wartime shortages has been amazing. Today, Ferrero has branched to over 30 coutnries around the globe, all directed by the Italian central. There are over 17 factories around the planet amongst three are in Latin America, and over 37 representatives. But amongst all Ferrero’s products, there’s one that stands above the rest because of the “revolution” it has caused within the world of candy for children and collectibles: that is the Kinder Surprise, these small, medium and large egg-shaped chocolate are whole in side, containing an orange capsule with a small toy, puzzle or game. When we wanted to know who came up with the idea of the surprise and the chocolate, we found to versions: the first being that it was an idea of Michele Ferrero back in 1974. His line of thought went like this “all children are the same. They like to play; they seek for fun and love. They always love discovering something. They love Chocolate” The other story sais that Heiri Roth, a Swiss Industrial Engineer came up with the concept back in 1972. Divergences about the origin aside, the idea was a success, and small one piece hand made toy collections were specially conceived to be introduced into the eggs. A turning point in the surprises occurred in 1983, when the original one piece toy was substituted by toy parts and instructions, an extra pinch to add to the “game-toy” concept that gave birth to Kinder Surprise. At first, the Kinder Egg toy collections featured cartoon, stories and comic book characters such as Asterix, Mickey Mouse and Robin Hood. In 1986, Ferrero launches its own conceived collection: Happy Froggs. The impact of these characters in the world of collectors from around the globe was immense, and indeed, wasn’t initially part of the plan Ferrero had thought for the surprises, targeting them for children. All in all, today, all over the globe are collectors of all ages who truly treasure the miniature toys. Even more, a couple of years ago, in Rome, a Ferrero/Kinder convetion was held featuring the Italian story of Ferrero. Today, Kinder Surprises Chocolate eggs are consumed in over 60 countries, and it’s estimated that the sales have reach the broad number of over 30 million units.
