AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This lot features a PILOT brand padlock, visible here in its original box. The rectangular vintage packaging displays a black and gray two-tone graphic design, with a stylized illustration of the padlock and the mention "PILOT BRASS PAD LOCK" on the front. The typography and design evoke a retro style typical of the mid-to-late 20th century, though the exact year cannot be specified. The box shows moderate signs of wear, particularly on the edges, confirming its authentic age.

The visual on the box highlights a padlock with a rounded shackle, with the brand "PILOT" inscribed in capital letters on the body of the padlock. The overall appearance is sober, utilitarian, and classic, characteristic of security objects from the last century. The general appearance of the box reveals a matte surface, with slight friction marks visible on the edges.

The photographed object is presented on a white textile background, which enhances the contrast of the packaging and allows for observation of the label's print quality. No other accessories or elements of the padlock (key, instructions, etc.) are visible in the photo; only the original box and its graphics are shown.

The mention "BRASS PAD LOCK" indicates that the padlock itself is made of brass, though the material of the padlock is not directly observable here, in accordance with the packaging information.

The graphic style of the box, the color palette, and the typeface suggest manufacturing prior to the 1990s, in the vein of vintage and retro utilitarian objects, suitable for both security use and decorative or thematic display.

Did you know? The English term "padlock" refers to a portable lock, used since antiquity to secure chests, doors, or suitcases.
