I still have the FP my father-in-law gave me back in the early 1980s
when he moved into a trailer and didn't have room for it anymore. So
probably the same vintage as yours. I think it's a Sunbeam. I use it
couple of times a month.

But....I still have all the cutting blades! Even though I only use the
knife one.
