Wholesale Fly-Tox insecticide sprayer – blue and gold lacquered metal

One look is enough to understand that this object belongs to another era. An era when everyday tools were made to last, crafted from heavy metal, dressed in bold typefaces and designed with a true sense of industrial aesthetics. This large Fly-Tox sprayer, entirely original, has crossed decades without losing its character. Its deep blue paint worn by time, its monumental lettering still legible, its T-handle and its old mechanics tell by themselves of workshops, gardens, sheds and mid-20th-century countryside. Before modern aerosol cans, Fly-Tox was one of the major brands of household and agricultural insecticides. These devices were used to spray treatments in houses, barns or crops. Today, they have become true witnesses of old industrial design and vintage metal advertising. The patina is authentic, the Fly-Tox marking remains very visible, the metal construction is solid. Natural wear has been preserved. The object is complete, as shown in the photographs. A piece that naturally finds its place in an industrial décor, a vintage workshop, a collection of old advertising or a flea-market setting. An object one can easily imagine displayed in an antique dealer's bookcase as well as in a loft with raw, patinated furniture.
