So, on a familiar to me US Patent from the early 1960s, there is mention of earlier priority, referring to a patent application and / or perhaps issue, in Italy a few years previous.

I am having difficulty finding anything more about this. Were such documents simply not added to the electronic database, or did the Italians simply not save such paperwork? Or perhaps I should direct such a search at the USPTO? Alternatively, perhaps the ID numbers are faulty?

What I have is this: An issued US Patent 3,166,269 to Mr. Elio Veroli (long since deceased).
The bibliographic data here on Espacenet gives me this:

Priorities
IT23360A·1960-01-05
Application
US24340762A·1962-12-10
Publication
US3166269A·1965-01-19

Now, as said, I am interested in that Italian document from 1960. Maybe even that US Application. How to find?

Further, the original document looks like this. Similar, but a few more numbers to choose from:


I would be very grateful for any help in pursuing this further. Thank you.

If the earliest-filed patent application for a particular invention was a provisional application, then the filing date of the provisional is your priority date.
