This reel has been well used, and the paintwork has some rubbing on the edges of the housing and foot where it attaches to the rod, with further rubbing on the rotating head (see pictures). The reel is fully functioning with a smooth retrieve and loud, working anti-reverse. The chrome is shiny and the bail spring is strong and opens with a light finger dab.
This is a very good condition, fully functioning, 50 year old reel, to fish with or add to a collection.
