This original mid-century vintage tin features classic lithographed branding for the "Cure-C-Cure" bicycle puncture repair outfit manufactured by the renowned British motoring and cycling firm, Romac.
Featuring its signature bright yellow background, bold red typography, and an iconic black graphic of a cyclist in motion, this small pocket tin provides a fantastic snapshot of 20th-century British industrial design. Marked "Made in England" with British Patent No. 748662, which dates the patent design back to 1956, this item is a genuine piece of late-1950s to 1960s social history.
Dimensions: 1.5cm x 11.5cm x 3cm
Condition: The tin is in very good vintage condition, displaying a wonderful authentic patina that highlights its history. The lithographed top cover remains bright and highly legible, showing expected light surface scratches, age-related scuffs, and a small area of vintage tape residue on the graphic that adds to its genuine character. The interior and base show honest wear and surface oxidation consistent with its age and utility, and the original hinge remains fully functional and intact.
