Rare Hakkou Pipe Heater 220V 500W with Travel Adapter Set This is a rare, deadstock set combining a pipe heater from Hakkou Electric Manufacturing, with a Showa-retro atmosphere, and a travel adapter plug set for overseas travelers. The noteworthy point of this set is the warning on the package: "This set is for overseas use and cannot be used in Japan. It cannot be sold to anyone who does not possess a passport." This indicates a time when overseas travel was still a luxury for the wealthy, and foreign currency regulations were still in place. The name "Hakkou Pipe Heater" and the Hakkou Electric Manufacturing stamp can be confirmed. The rating is 220V 500W, a specification for overseas use and cannot be used in Japan's 100V environment. This is a retro travel item that was once carried for easily boiling water at the destination during overseas trips or business trips. The plug on the heater has a MIKAWA 250V 6A stamp and is compatible with the C-type plug, which was widely used in Europe at the time. As an accessory, a complete set of TRAVEL ADAPTOR PLUGS VII travel adapter plugs is included. This set contains multiple plugs in a cosmetic box that are compatible with various countries, including the UK (BF type) and Europe (C/SE type). The test sheet on the heater body is stamped March 1986, and it is rare to find it in perfect condition as a 40-year-old overseas travel item. For collectors of retro appliances and vintage travel goods, especially those interested in power supply standards and the history of overseas travel, this is a valuable item, even in its packaged state with the test sheet. However, when actually using it, it is necessary to ensure the rated voltage is 220V and to thoroughly read the "Precautions for Using the Pipe Heater" in the included instruction manual and ensure thorough safety management. ※ Since I only have a 100V environment at home, I have not confirmed the operation at 220V. #Other "Aviation Goods" are here #Retro Appliances #Travel Appliances #Vintage #Showa Retro #Hakkou Electric #Pipe Heater #Overseas Travel #Adapter Plug #Water Heater #MIKAWA #Deadstock #Overseas Standards #220V #BF Type #C Type
