then the early mavers were called "litanium"(i think)

Maver Lithium it was called; a grey/silver colour.

The Thema came a touch later but not much. It had green decor on the butt section.

I used one for years.

'Spiralite' does ring a bell in the old grey cells! Image Image

Correction, when I said I had one it was a Maver Lithium; it lasted quite a few years and was quite a bit slimmer than today's models. Image Image Image
