The object has an elongated shape, with a visibly patinated wooden handle, of ovoid and slightly conical cross-section, whose end shows significant wear and a discolored area, probably due to many uses. The screwdriver head is equipped with a long, thin flat blade, ending in a distinctive, slightly flared \"V\" slot, indicating a specific function (unscrewing wide slotted screws or handling old mechanical parts).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wooden handle shows traces of use, with irregular patina, handling marks and a natural coloring that accentuates towards the end. An area at the base of the handle reveals an old, partially erased red paint layer. The dark colored blade has a matte surface, with visible traces of oxidation, typical of untreated old steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNo marks or inscriptions are visible on the photographed side, but the style of the handle and the shape of the blade evoke an artisanal or semi-industrial manufacture from the early to mid-20th century. The whole exudes an authentic character, ideal for a retro workshop decoration or a collection of old tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between the light shade of the wood and the dark blade enhances the object on a shelf or workbench. Its elongated silhouette and the specificity of the \"V\" slot make it a unique tool, difficult to find in contemporary productions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsed tool, sold as is.

Their particular shape allowed for a better grip on non-standardized screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCareful packaging and fast shipping.
