This is a very nice vintage reel. It shows very little use, or well cared for use. I has some scratches and the scratches on the foot, look worse than they really are, but all and all, very nice. It works perfect, but can use a little cleaning. This reel is in as found condition. I don't try to clean anything other than wiping off lose dust. I pretty much, just fly fish anymore, but if it doen't sell, it's one of those reels, I wouldn't mind keeping. Thank you.
