ABOUT PRODUCTID 20621
This set of nine steel measurement pyramids from 1940s Czechoslovakia exemplifies utilitarian, industrial design from the mid-20th century. Each pyramid is constructed from solid steel, featuring a four-sided geometric form with a flat base and pointed apex. They are coated in a cool, slightly muted turquoise matte paint, with large, hand-painted red numerals visible on at least two faces of each pyramid, marking increments of 20, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, and 70. At the apex of each pyramid, a small steel loop is attached for easy handling or placement. The surfaces display visible chips, scratches, areas of surface rust, and welded seams along the edges—underscoring their authenticity and original industrial purpose. All pieces remain structurally sound, with a raw patina and signs of outdoor exposure typical for vintage sports equipment. Condition: visible signs of wear, patina, and surface rust consistent with age and original use.These steel pyramids tell a story of athletic spirit and functional clarity, echoing the atmosphere of Central European sports fields of the 1940s. Each bears traces of hands that once moved them across javelin and shot-put fields—muted turquoise and faded red numbers evoking the ambiance of pre-war stadiums and the industrial discipline of the era. Their raw form and visible aging speak of material honesty and endurance—a world where precision, practicality, and durability were paramount.Today
