Its handle is cylindrical with facets, with a translucent amber finish typical of materials used in the 1950s-1970s for tool handles. The color of the handle varies between dark yellow and brown, hinting at the metal rod inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible blade is flat, showing even wear and a gray patina, indicating regular use. The edges of the blade are slightly rounded, a classic effect of prolonged manual work. No markings or inscriptions are legible on the visible part of the tool, neither on the blade nor on the handle, which is common on small antique screwdrivers of artisanal or semi-industrial manufacture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle shows some signs of use: scratches, friction marks, and dark deposits, without major chips or apparent cracks on the visible side. Its octagonal shape facilitates grip and limits rolling on a workbench. The translucent appearance reveals internal bubbles or irregularities, typical of old synthetic materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe screwdriver consists of two main visible parts: the wide slot metal blade and the translucent handle. The connection between the blade and the handle is secured by a metal ferrule, also marked by oxidation. No decorative elements or accessories are visible on the photographed side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall patina, the design of the handle, and the shape of the blade suggest a vintage-era tool, ideal for enthusiasts of retro tools or to complement an antique-inspired workshop. This type of screwdriver was commonly used for small precision work or electronics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e: Used tool, sold as is.

Their transparency allowed for checking the condition of the rod inserted into the handle, an advantage for the tool's safety and longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAFW Reassurance\u003c\/b\u003e: Fast shipping and careful packaging.
