Vintage advertising box "Michelin Bicycle Kit"

Vintage lithographed tin advertising box, designed to hold a Michelin bicycle tire repair kit. The "Thaletor" inscription in the center recalls the Clermont-Ferrand-based company's earlier technical products. The bright red design contrasted with black and white lettering, combined with the industrial typography, evokes advertising imagery from the 1920s and 30s. A beautiful, even patina and a surface that remains legible despite some oxidation enhance its authentic charm.
