A quick Google search indicates that they were a pre war to post war machine tool manufacturer. Would be surprised if these were aircraft parts or wartime with the English writing.
Maybe there are some clues to time period in the Kanji characters that a native speaker could help out with?
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Easy, as it's all written on the back of that plate. A/C is not aircraft but parts for an "alternative current" power generator. These are postwar parts and Roku-Roku Shoten is a manufacturer of milling and drilling machines. Just junk from a tool box with no collector value, sorry.
Thank you both was just going by the Singopore 1945 written in pencil on the back of the tag but if junk thank you for the id
...but they also made a one-off experimental dive bomber of which only one was made...and it lead the attack on Pearl.....although that was all hushed up.......apparently....
Most likely and the plane is still sitting around somewhere and cant fly due to being missing these parts
....I think you’re right...I saw something about that on the History Channel.....I’m just counting the days before copies start to appear on EBay. :-)

Please show us the source for your claims. As far as I know, the company had no aviation know-how. A gasoline-powered train was about the closest they got to transportation.
Of course it does not change the fact that what is shown is just postwar junk.
Oooops. I guess British humour doesn’t always export well. Sorry.
Unfortunately so many dealer descriptions for Japanese militaria read like British jokes these days that it's getting difficult to tell jokes and sales talk apart.
