Chicken Vs. Egg?

I was an avid follower of "Red Dwarf" in its Heyday.  Many moons later I discovered the existence of the firm.  
Since I knew of one for a long time prior to the other I couldn't  avoid a spot of Chicken/Egg contemplation.

Today I solved my dilemma. - NO Contest?
"Smeg is an Italian home appliance manufacturer.
Founded:

Guastalla, Italy, 1948"

Today I had another excuse to step over the threshold.  Result - a short perambulation of parts of town I seldom see; usually going, doing "it" and returning.  I took a goodly selection, all of which, ,unusually, are repeatable - SO - the old Humerus took over.
