This is a vintage Suzuki mandolin, Model No. M-215, crafted by Suzuki Violin Co., Ltd. in Nagoya, Japan. Although the exact year of manufacture is not specified, it is estimated to be from around the 1970s.  
The mandolin features a teardrop bowl-back body made with finely crafted ribs, a spruce top with intricate soundhole inlay, and decorative wooden pickguards. The instrument exhibits excellent craftsmanship typical of Suzuki's string instruments from this era.  

The instrument comes in a hard case with plush yellow lining, which is in good condition with only minor signs of wear. Four plectrums are included—one marked Yamaha and three in various materials and colors.  
**Please note**: 4 of the 8 strings (the wound ones) show signs of oxidation and should ideally be replaced for optimal performance.
