I'm guessing this sharpener was modeled after the original Crock Sticks, which I have used many times over the years, made by many different companies or at least in many different packages probably all made by the same company. This is an early version, with no storage for the sticks, no hand guard, no variable angles: wood base, two medium ceramic rods, two holes, cardboard box. One stick is shorter than the other, though to me it doesn't look like it was broken, but if it did break, it was very close to the end and pretty clean. One also looks a little more used than the other, for no reason I can figure out. I tried them out, and they still work, good for putting a quick edge on kitchen knives before use. (Sharp knives cut more easily than dull ones.) Rods cleaned with SoftScrub, which is what I recall the original manufacturer recommending, though the box for these suggests Ajax or Comet, both of which will work - just don't wait years before cleaning. See pictures. Base measures 10-1/2" long x 1-1/2" wide x 7/8" tall, rods are 8-1/2" long x 3/8" diameter.
Contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks for looking, and good luck!
