CONDITION:
Original, unrestored vintage condition with scratches, scuffs, paint wear, discoloration, accumulated surface soiling and areas of light oxidation consistent with age and former commercial use. The metal cabinet remains structurally solid and retains its original translucent dividers.
The large automobile advertising graphic retains attractive blue, yellow and black coloring, with scattered surface scratches, wear and minor oxidation. The removable printed slot-label index card shows staining, discoloration and age-related wear but remains readable and functional.
The 16 BUSS fuse tins/cases exhibit varying degrees of wear, staining, fading, scratches and oxidation. Their fuse quantities vary, and some are partial or nearly empty. The fuses have not been electrically tested or completely inventoried.
No individual cardboard fuse boxes are included. The printed labels visible inside the display are part of the removable index card positioned behind the dividers.
All vintage fuses are being sold as collectible display pieces. Their functionality and suitability for modern electrical use are not guaranteed.
The quarter shown for scale is not included.
Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact contents and condition. You will receive the advertising display, removable index card, 16 BUSS tins/cases and assorted fuse contents shown.
