The robust metal construction features classic proportions with functional design elements and secure hinged lid closure. The worn paint reveals underlying layers, creating authentic vintage character with visible paint loss and metal patina throughout the surfaces.
Measuring 32.5cm x 23cm x 20.5cm (12.75" x 9" x 8"), this French metal toolbox shows honest wear consistent with its age and original industrial purpose.
