AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Pristine Time Capsule of Japanese Design
This is an extraordinary opportunity to acquire a Brand New / Unused example of the iconic National KP-S1 electric pencil sharpener. Produced by Matsushita Electric (now Panasonic) during the height of the Space Age design movement in Japan, the KP-S1 is celebrated for its bold primary colors, sleek rounded silhouette, and the legendary reliability of National’s electric motors.
Museum-Grade Preservation
This particular unit is "New Old Stock," having been preserved in its original state for decades.
Unused Condition: The internal rotary cutters are factory-fresh and have never been used to sharpen a pencil.
Vibrant Aesthetic: The signature blue casing remains bright and glossy, free from the UV fading often seen in vintage plastics.
Engineering: Features a powerful, high-torque motor and an automatic stop mechanism, representative of the precision engineering of the Showa Era.
Product Specifications & Condition
Era: Circa 1970–1982 (Showa Period).
Manufacturer: National (Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.).
Model: KP-S1.
Status: Unused / Mint in Box.
Accessories: Includes the original Japanese instruction manual.
Technical Note: This is a 100V (50/60Hz) Japanese model. For operation in Europe (230V), a step-down voltage transformer is required.
Whether for a high-end stationery collection or as a functional statement piece for a retro-themed office, this unused KP-S1 is a rare find in such immaculate condition.
