From AI:
This is a very rare early model manufactured and sold by Benriner Co., Ltd. in Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, from around 1950 to 1968.

Material Focus: The main body is made from high-quality domestic Japanese wood, Hoonoki (Japanese bigleaf magnolia). This wood is water-resistant and ideal for kitchen utensils.
Transition to Plastic: In the 1960s, due to material shortages during Japan's period of high economic growth, production shifted to plastic. Therefore, this wooden model is now a rare retro antique item.
Enduring Sharpness: It features a steel embodying Japanese craftsmanship. Just like modern plastic Benriner slicers, the slice thickness can be finely adjusted by turning a screw.
