Note: The box is solid metal and packed densely with hundreds of cards, so it is heavy.
Condition:Good, authentic vintage condition with a beautiful industrial patina. The exterior metal shell shows honest wear consistent with daily use in a mid-century commercial kitchen, including surface scratches, light oxidation, and minor scuffs. The original paper labels on the outer front, outer lid, and inner lid are still intact, showing age-appropriate discoloration and minor lifting/chipping that adds to its historic character.
The interior index cards and tab dividers are complete and legible, showing typical vintage yellowing and edge wear from handling. No structural damage; hinges work smoothly.
