21 pamphlets with colour photographic illustrations, varied sizes and pages, a few chips and tears but generally in very good condition. This interesting collection of Hitachi home appliances pamphlets from the 1960s covers washing machines, black and white televisions, refrigerators, cooling fans, toasters, sewing machines, electric heaters, water pumps, and florescent lights. Many of them have stamps of an electric retail shop in Matsuzaka City in Mie Prefecture. The pamphlets provide interesting snap shots on evolution on electric home appliances and their advertisement. Their prices were quite high for ordinary consumers of that period and often exceeded monthly wages. This interesting collection provides not only information, but also beautifully illustrates some of the dreams of many aspiring Japanese households at that time. Seller Inventory # 170897

Terms of Sale:

Postage is extra at cost. We are pleased to accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Paypal.

Shipping Terms:

The shipping prices quoted on ABEBooks reflect what we have found to be the "average book". Of course in reality there are many books that do not weigh what an "average book" weighs so there are times when we need to requote shipping, just as there are times when we are in position to refund some of the shipping. Please rest assured we try to get your order to you for a reasonable price, as quickly and as well packed (we carefully pack all of our parcels in book boxes) as possible.
