Vintage Eraser 50s/60s cassette white rubber, retro original box

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Rare vintage eraser from the brand Cassette, presented in its original box, typical of the 50s/60s. The cardboard box features a retro graphic design, dominated by black, gold, and red tones, with gold and white lettering. The word "CASSETTE" appears in capital letters on the top of the box, accompanied by a horizontal gold band and a red border, highlighting the advertising aesthetic of school supplies from that era.

The visible packaging indicates that it is a white rubber eraser, as specified in the keywords. The partially legible inscription "PLASTIC ERASER FOR PAPER & ..." confirms its purpose for writing on paper. The term "CAROME" and the number "90" also appear on the front, probably referring to the model or product line of the manufacturer.

The eraser itself is not visible through the closed box, but the packaging suggests a classic rectangular format, common for desk erasers of this period. Part of the protective plastic packaging is still present, slightly torn, which attests to original preservation, even if the box shows signs of wear and some marks of time, visible on the edges and corners.

This type of eraser was commonly used by schoolchildren and professionals in the second half of the 20th century, and is distinguished here by the presence of its complete packaging, a rare detail for this type of old stationery item. The graphics, typography, and color palette confirm this piece's roots in the utilitarian design of the 50s/60s.

The visible side of the box does not show any other legible inscriptions or additional decorative elements. Overall, it offers a nice example of vintage school supplies, both utilitarian and decorative for a retro workspace or a thematic display.

Did you know? White rubber erasers were widely produced from the mid-20th century onwards, gradually replacing natural colored erasers. Their synthetic rubber composition allowed for increased efficiency and less paper abrasion, meeting the growing needs of offices and schools in the post-war era.
