I think Larry's guess of '75 as end of production for those
stems is pretty accurate. Later Fiamme stems look a lot like
the later TTT stems. I have a Fiamme stem from '76 which looks
like a more delicate version of a TTT (except the Fiamme uses a
6mm hex wrench instead of 7mm) and is labeled "Montreal". I
imagine that was intended to evoke an association with the '76
Olympic games.
