Reel is in decent condition. Some rashing on the outside from use and a name engraved in the side plate (Bill Addeo a northern striper fisherman) but other than that no major exterior damage. Has some bearing noise and cranks tight (These reels often had a tight crank even new) but the gears feel good and the drag is smooth. Spool clicker also works perfectly. Original run of the VS300 with the non threading side plate and a serial number of 100. This will make an excellent collectors reel.
