The reel features an exposed metal structure with openwork perforations typical of professional or semi-professional media used for audio recording or film storage. The inscription \"MADE IN ITALY\" is clearly visible on the metal edge, highlighting its European manufacturing, valued for its quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe brown magnetic tape is partially unspooled, revealing the smooth and shiny texture of the emulsion. The reel also bears the marking \"SIDE NO.1,\" indicating content organization by side, common for this type of media. The core of the reel is perforated, designed to fit various analog tape recorders or projectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe storage case, polygonal in shape and with a matte grey appearance, shows some visible signs of wear, indicating prior use. A handwritten label is present on the top surface of the case, but the text is not legible in the photo. The set rests on a wooden desk, in a setting reminiscent of an old office or library, enhancing the retro aspect of the object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis type of reel was used for both sound recording (audio tape) and film storage in amateur or semi-professional formats. The overall aesthetic and materials suggest production likely from the 1960s to 1980s, a period of strong development in magnetic technology. No specific brand logo is visible apart from the Italian origin marking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visual condition of the reel is generally good, with a slightly shiny metal surface showing no major signs of oxidation. The tape itself appears intact on the exposed part, with no visible breaks or creases. The case shows signs of use (scratches, patina, small stains), consistent with a vintage item.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed item, sold as is.
