A charming vintage educational specimen set titled 貝類標本集 (Kairui Hyōhonshū – Seashell Specimen Collection), featuring 40 different types of seashells carefully arranged and labeled in Japanese. This type of set was commonly used in schools and for natural science study during the Shōwa era in Japan. Each shell is mounted on a printed board with names and classifications, offering both aesthetic appeal and educational value. The variety of shapes, textures, and colors makes this an attractive collectible for natural history enthusiasts, collectors, or interior display. The seashells themselves are generally well preserved considering their age. However, due to long-term storage, the outer box shows significant deterioration, including stains, wear, and damage. The set has not undergone a detailed inspection and is therefore sold as-is. There are also minor scratches and dirt present. Contents of the lot: 1 × Wooden specimen box 40 × assorted seashell specimens (mounted and labeled) A rare and nostalgic piece reflecting mid-20th century Japanese educational materials and natural history collecting culture.
