Mitsubishi - Pencil sharpener Industrial design - Retro Electric Sharpener

A charming vintage Mitsubishi Electric automatic pencil sharpener with a retro “Racing Car – LOTO” Formula 1 design. This ES-31 model was popular among Japanese students during the 1980s for its futuristic dashboard-like panel and smooth automatic sharpening mechanism. It features adjustable sharpening depth and an automatic stop function to prevent over-sharpening. The clear front compartment collects pencil shavings and can be easily removed for cleaning. This nostalgic Japanese-made stationery item is ideal for collectors of retro Showa-era school or office goods, or for display in vintage interiors. The item is in good overall vintage condition, showing signs of age such as scratches and sticker wear, but retains excellent display value. Method of Shipment FedEx or Japan Post NOTICE The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by FedEx or Japan Post. Delivery usually takes 1–2 weeks. Sometimes Customs or the delivery company in your country may contact you by phone or email for clearance. Please make sure you are available to respond. If not, the parcel may be returned to me, and reshipping will cost more than twice the original shipping fee. I appreciate your cooperation.
