It looks like it's in good condition, but the lack of labels worries me a little (not much). Sometimes people will clean up a used reel, paint it and sell it as "lightly" used. The chrome is the giveaway. If it's pitted badly you know that it's had a lot of use and it wasn't well taken care of. If you look carefully at the black knob you can see corrosion on the shaft and also on the threads of the reel clamp. Whoever is selling it has obviously taken the time to give that reel a good cleaning and polishing... they just missed a few spots. From the pics this one looks good but until you strip the line and actually look at the reel you just never know. The thing I love about these reels is that they are a one piece aluminum frame.... no separate cross bars like the old Penns. (Not that the Penn Jigmasters, etc. weren't good reels, they are and I have several). I just like these better.
