This is a folding umbrella from Ideal, a brand of the historic Maehara Kogyo Shoten. Although it's been around for years, it's a new, unused item. Due to its old-fashioned construction, the frame is entirely made of steel, making it somewhat heavy. However, it should be strong against wind and rain, and feel sturdy! It's certainly practical for use, but how about adding it to your collection as a Showa-retro umbrella? Although it's new and unused, it is a used item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about condition. Only those who understand this are welcome to purchase. *Regarding price reductions, I am willing to negotiate to a small extent. Please contact me through the comment section, not through a price reduction request, if you are interested. m(_ _)m
