This is the Baby Light series, made between the 1960s and 1980s, during the era when Matsushita Electric Industrial was known as Tenka no Matsushita (Matsushita of the Nation), before Panasonic, or rather, National.
While we still use smartphone flashlights today, in the Showa era, smartphones didn't exist, so young people would hang small items like these from their bags or belt loops.
This is a set of BF-565 and BF-563.
The 563 was a huge hit, released in a wide variety of colors and often used as promotional giveaways. There are many past listings for it on Mercari. Incidentally, this particular item has the PANTENE logo, famous for its shampoo, making it a bit rare.
As for the main item, the 565, this is quite a rare piece. It was released in 1977 and appears to have been discontinued around 1981.
Recommended for collectors.

Both items have no noticeable scratches or dirt, but there are some scuffs and minor scratches due to age. The opening, in particular, shows some wear, likely from being opened with a coin.
They both light up, and the interiors are clean.

Please understand that these are vintage items that have passed through over 40 years of history before purchasing.
Those who are overly sensitive should refrain from buying.

Size: The 563 is just over 5 cm in diameter and just over 1.5 cm thick.
The 565 is just over 5 cm long, just under 3 cm wide, and about 1.5 cm thick.
