Vintage audio magnetic tape, "Christmas Celebration" box, old sound film

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed description

This lot consists of an old, square magnetic tape box, with a light finish slightly yellowed by time. The box features handwritten text on the lid, readable as follows: "Christmas Celebration (words) music". This suggests a thematic sound recording centered around a Christmas celebration, likely content combining lyrics and music.

The lid's surface shows a uniform patina, with slight signs of wear and a few visible stains, typical of an audio archive item from past decades. The unit is closed and features a white tab or handle, integrated on the visible side, used to extract or handle the storage box.

The handwritten style and the appearance of the medium are characteristic of audio magnetic tapes used for analog recordings before the digital era. No industrial label or commercial brand is visible on the exposed face, suggesting private, institutional, or semi-professional use.

The item is presented on a wooden surface, with no precise indication of the brand or exact type of tape inside. The vintage appearance is reinforced by the slightly faded color of the cardboard, typical of the 1960s to 1980s for this type of audio packaging.

Condition
