AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vintage aluminum EHBO cabinet with red cross – presumably Russian military or civil defense

A distinctive vintage aluminum first-aid cabinet, executed in a robust industrial style and featuring a characteristic red metal cross on the door. Based on its execution, materials, and design, this cabinet is likely of Russian or East European origin, possibly from a military, civil defense, or industrial environment.

The cabinet is made of lightweight aluminum with a handsome brushed look. The slightly curved door, sturdy hinges and original latch give it a utilitarian appearance typical of the post-war period. Inside there is a metal shelf, making the cabinet practically organized.

In addition to its original function, this is a decorative object that fits excellently in an industrial, vintage, or loft interior. Also very suitable as a collectible for enthusiasts of military memorabilia, medical history, or Eastern Bloc design.

Condition
Great vintage condition with normal signs of use and aging. The aluminum shows light scratches, stains, and a beautiful patina from use. The red paint on the cross is partly worn away, which enhances its authentic character. The door closes well and the hinges function properly. The number 44 is engraved in the metal. Please examine the photos carefully; they are an integral part of the description.

A rare and atmospheric object that stylishly combines functionality, history, and industrial design.
