Description from the seller
Here is a rare piece, almost one-of-a-kind and today hard to find: a superb vintage enamel advertising plaque from the car brand BERTOR, dating from the 1950s.
Its retro illustration, elevated by a checkerboard motif emblematic of motor racing, makes it a collectible with a strong character. A true decorative item with dual functionality, it includes an old thermometer that blends utilitarian aesthetics with the charm of old garages, workshops, or retro kitchens.
With its generous dimensions (50 x 15 x 1 cm) and substantial weight of 650 g, this enamel plate exudes durability and post-war construction 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 wear and a light oxidation (visible in the photos) which are not defects but the authentic patina of its history.
The integrated thermometer no longer seems to work, but that’s a practical detail, as it can be easily replaced with a standard model for those who wish to restore its full functionality.
Photos are an integral part of the description.
Fast and careful shipping guaranteed so that this vintage jewel reaches you in perfect condition.
