Vintage advertising tin box "Michelin Standard Lottery Code"

Small but remarkable, this tin advertising box testifies to the ingenuity of automotive tools of yesteryear. Produced by Michelin & Cie, it likely contained an accessory related to the tire identification system or some kind of promotional lottery. The bright yellow design, embellished with a drawing of a socket or lightbulb, makes it very graphic and typical of French production from the 1930s to 1950s. A rare piece in miniature format, ideal for Michelin enthusiasts or collectors of industrial advertising.
