The only signs of use I could find were one minor corner ding and two almost microscopic pits - this reel is in excellent shape overall

This may be one of the only rods made in the serial numbering era without a name on the rod

Nice mortise in the seat wood spacer but I don't what kind of wood this is

The ferrules are wrapped in a transparent amber

Aluminum tube and brass top of the earlier style

The mid section has a large scratch above the first guide which it might be a good idea to varnish over (I suspect this was not a hook dig but perhaps from a fall or non-fishing related knock)

Used but very well cared for condition

This model is one of the rarest Edward Vom Hofe reels
