Indeed they are in very good condition. These reels are built like tanks!
That looks like a black textured finish rather than the usual shiny smooth charcoal gray. If so, clean that puppy up and put him on the shelf. Black textured 2070, 80 & 90 Sea Wonders are rare and pretty valuable. If it is a textured example, nice find! I sure wouldn't fish it if it were mine.
Yeah, I agree. Don't see that many of these guys.
What lurks beneath.... Get that nutty butter outta there.
