Key Features

• ✔ This vintage Mitsubishi Kelbo II erasable ballpoint pen is a nostalgic piece from the Showa era, specifically launched in the 1980s. Featuring a striking red twist-style design, this pen was a groundbreaking innovation at the time, allowing users to write with a single ink color and erase mistakes easily with its built-in eraser. Although it has been used for testing, it remains in excellent condition with a clean eraser and is ideal for collectors or enthusiasts of retro stationery.
• ✔ Despite being unused, this item has been stored for many years, and it is being sold as a collectible historical artifact. It was originally priced at 1200 yen and is now a rare vintage piece from Mitsubishi Pencil, manufactured in the USA by Gillette Japan. The pen is a significant example of early erasable pen technology, which, although not widely adopted at the time, paved the way for modern erasable pens.
