Looks clean. I am not a fisherman (loved to fish when I was a young girl), but this reel looks really clean. It is in its original beat-up box, with a sealed bag of Mitchell Reel Lube and a wrench, and some paperwork. There is a business card from Tony's Bait & Tackle in Manahawkin, NJ, with writing on the back indicating the reel was purchased on October 20, 1973. Please see my photos of the paperwork included.
