Vintage Airbus Mallat eraser 50s/60s retro illustrated airplane

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Old rectangular eraser, featuring a colorful illustration on its visible side. This eraser has a vivid blue insert in the center, depicting a drawing of a passenger plane with the word "Airbus" in the top left, accompanied by a stylized sun in the background. The aeronautical scene occupies most of the illustrated surface, with the inscription "MALLAT" in capital letters, placed in a black frame at the bottom of the illustration. The overall aesthetic evokes a typical 50s/60s style, both in terms of graphic design and the color palette used.

The eraser itself is white, with clean and slightly rounded edges. There is a slight surface patina, consistent with moderate use and prolonged storage. The colored print remains highly legible, despite the presence of micro-scratches or slight wear on the decoration, without major alteration to the main inscriptions. No decorative details are visible on the other sides; only the front face is illustrated and visible in the photo.

The brand "MALLAT" is clearly mentioned, confirming the origin of this promotional or advertising eraser. Mallat was a recognized player in the manufacture of school and office supplies during the 20th century. The aircraft depicted, with the word "Airbus", refers to the world of aeronautics, a theme frequently used in school objects of the 50s/60s to highlight technical innovation.

This type of eraser was often distributed in schools or sold in stationery stores, and stands out here for its retro illustration featuring civil aviation. The object is particularly suitable for display on a vintage desk, in a display case dedicated to school souvenirs or retro design, or as a decoration on a shelf.

Condition: Used item, moderate signs of wear visible on the illustration, eraser generally clean. Sold as is.
