Made in SWEDEN in 1973-1974?
Comes in an teak box including the tool, an empty oil bottle & spare part tube.
This reel is in EXCELLENT condition with only some marks of wear, which you can see on the pics.
Note, there is a small, almost like a "swan" shape area on the back of the foot (right side) where the gilt has worn off.
The
teak box needs light tapping on the right front corner to reach it's
original shape. In addition the pieces, between which the reel is
placed, must be glued back and the green fabric piece between them is
partially torn. I also assume that the plate on which the oil bottle and
the tool are has changed it's place? It probably should be in the right
corner? After you do those things, the box should be back in it's
original condition?
Serial number under the foot: 12963
Winding is very light and smooth and both casting brake adjustment knobs do their job 100%.
Everything works as it should and the spool spins freely. Feels almost like the bearings would just have been replaced with new.
This is definitely a reel for the ABU collectors although you could easily fish with it with no probs.
