For Kurei-sama: UNI Tape Writer - Box and Main Unit Only (As-Is Condition)

The clear cover on top is missing, and while the exterior is in a somewhat compromised state, the main unit is relatively clean. Since accessories such as tapes, which should be movable, are not included, the durability of normal operation is unknown. Ideal for display as a Showa retro item, for parts, or as a base for restoration.
I have only seen it in pictures and am unsure how it is used, so I value it within the category of stylish retro stationery with its striking red appearance. Is it the predecessor to today's P-touch?
The main unit will be protected in the tray shown in the image and shipped.
Looking at the back of the box, which has a strangely amusing American-like design, the original source of the product seems to be an American company, and it appears that Mitsubishi Pencil, a representative Japanese stationery manufacturer, may have licensed and sold it. Does this mean there were no similar products from other companies at the time? Although it's not talked about much recently, for you stationery girls who were popular around the end of the Heisei era! If you are an OL or work in an office, it would be cute to have on your desk, and you could probably come up with conversation topics for a while by exploring how to use it?

Shipping with tracking number for peace of mind.
