AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Here is a rare piece, almost unique and today unobtainable: a superb vintage enamel advertising plaque from the car brand BERTOR, dating from the 1950s.
Its retro illustration, enhanced by the iconic checkered pattern of motorsport, makes it a collectible with a strong character. A true decorative object with a double function, it includes an old thermometer that combines utilitarian aesthetics with the charm of old garages, workshops or retro kitchens.
With its generous dimensions (50 x 15 x 1 cm) and its substantial weight of 650 g, this enamel sign exudes robustness and post-war manufacturing quality.
It is ready to be displayed thanks to its pre-drilled holes for easy wall mounting.
As for condition, it is in very good overall shape and proudly bears the marks of its past: some signs of wear and a slight oxidation (visible in the photos) which are not defects but the authentic patina of its history.
The integrated thermometer does not seem to work anymore, but that's a practical detail, as it can be easily replaced by a standard model for those who want to restore its full functionality.
The photos are an integral part of the description.
Fast and careful shipping guaranteed so that this vintage jewel arrives to you in perfect condition.
