The year was 1974.
DQ's new (N) line of (7) reels was extremely popular with anglers worldwide.
This was the smallest in the group —- a tiny high speed 1:5 powerhouse. Steel worm-drive, over-built frame and bearing, phosphor cut bronze main gear.
Here is a 110N made from new parts. The paint has been stripped, even the spool is new. Micro-tuned.
$70 and I will split the shipping with you.
Figure $75 to your door via Priority Mail.
A very unique item.

Pretty reel.
It's good to see you going a bit non-traditional. When you strip the paint and polish, is there a clear coat applied?
I see a streak of lip stick nice touch ..

Good eye, as usual, Joe —-
I had used a sharpie to color the metal silver stripe.
But instead switched it this morning to some 3M automotive striping I had on hand. That stuff lasts forever in all types of conditions —- and never fades.
