[QUOTE=T-Mar;19265971 C. Itoh was a Japanese trading company that imported bicycles and other products. [/QUOTE]
Being from the electronics industry I worked for a Japanese company from 1984-2006. All our early computer terminals and several printer makes were from C. Itoh. It wasn't until later when I got into the vintage bikes that I found my first C. Itoh bikes on Craigs List Their bikes were always interesting. Low-mid range stuff usually.
If I ever build up a no-name junker frame 60's based 10-speed maybe I'll opt for using one of these dérailleurs on it just for grins.
