Rare Vintage Early 1970s Canon Pocketronic II Handheld Thermal Printing Calculator – Made in Japan

An exceptional piece of early computing and calculator history! The Canon Pocketronic II is the iconic successor to the groundbreaking original Pocketronic—famous for utilizing early thermal print-head technology developed in partnership with Texas Instruments.

Instead of an LED/VFD screen, this historic model prints calculations directly onto narrow thermal paper tape viewable through the upper viewing window.
