FISH FINDER IS NEW AND VERY CLEAN EXCEPT FOR FACTORY NAME STAMP BEING BADLY DONE FROM FACTORY... MOST ALL IVE SEEN WERE AS BAD IF NOT WORSE... THESE ARE MADE IN SMALL BATCHES AND PROBABLY HAND STAMPED NOT PRODUCTION LINE DONE ..THE PAPER TAG IS VERY CLEAN CHECK PICS

THE INSTRUCTION AND INFO SHEET IS NOT BAD FOR DISPLAY ON FRONT.... BUT BACK HAS STAIN UP ENTIRE MIDDLE (STAIN LESS VISIBLE ON FRONT SIDE BY A LIL BIT

ALL IN ALL DISPLAY QUALITY IF NOT MUSEUM QUALITY.... ONLY INSTRUCTION SHEET IVE EVER SEEN

THESE WERE SOLD MAIL ORDER FOR A COUPLE YEARS AND APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN A FAILURE

AS FAR AS IVE HEARD FROM IOWA LURE COLLECTORS I KNOW AFTER PAYING FOR A FEW DIFFRENT ADDS IN WELL KNOWN MAGAZINE SUCH AS 1951 POPULAR MECHANICS, THEY WENT BELLY UP  (THIS EXPLAINS WHY THIS IS ONLY ONE ON EBAY!)

ALSO ID ADVISE YOU DONT USE THIS FISH FINDER BECAUSE THEY WERE SAID TO SCARE FISH MOST TIMES AND WHEN YOU GOT A BIG STRIKE WOULD CAUSE THE FINDER TO SNAP THE FISHING LINE THAT WENT THROUGH THE HOLE (MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE ADDED SOME TYPE OF BUSHING)

APPEARS TO BE MISSING SOMETHING CALLED A CONTROL ARM... IT IS BASICALLY A PIECE OF WIRE COAT HANGER  CHECK INSTRUCTIONS
