    Copal Model 321L

    From japan, the Copal 231L comes in a few different colors, yellow, red and I think white. This yellow one is NOS so in great shape, the blacklight is very strong. Switch for 50/60 htz on the bottom. 6,000 yen new, which would have been roughly $88 in today's dollars by my estimates.

    According to google translate: The retailer sticker basically shows the price and the upper part highlights the fact it has glowing digits. Bottom text tells retailers who decorate the store to put the sticker on the upper left part of the clock.
    The manual is mostly reminding the buyer they need to set the switch on the bottom to match their home region or it won't keep time correctly.

      That belongs in my Copal collection! It's definitely got that Japan vibe going.
