A guide for this piece: about $224, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

A pale CC is framed by COCO and CHANEL lettering on this illuminated wall sign.
The Piece
A circular fluorescent tube sits behind the face, and the back carries a re-lamping instruction panel, an electrical maker label and the date mark 7-7-73. The maker photograph reads Bridge Metal Industries, Mount Vernon, New York, with 120 V and 60 Hz.
The original material description specifies steel and plastic, without identifying acrylic. Lit photographs record illumination when photographed, not a recent electrical inspection.
The opened housing photograph exposes the circular lamp arrangement, while separate close views isolate the ballast and instruction panel. No energy-cost estimate or assertion of universal Japan compatibility is retained.

Authenticity & Care
Keep unplugged until a qualified electrician has assessed the cord, ballast, lamp holders and intended supply. Do not follow photographed re-lamping steps on an energised unit. Support the housing and protect the fragile face; a plug adapter alone is not an electrical assessment.
Delivery from Japan
Ask about protective packing for the aged housing and electrical components before dispatch.
