This reel has been used very sparingly and serviced annually since I bought it over 30 years ago.  I take care of my equipment.  I have too many reels and it’s time to sell a few.  The reel is in excellent condition inside and out.  I have attached several good photos of the reel but if you need more just ask.
 
The perfect was continually modified and improved, and by 1912, the body material was changed to various alloys of aluminum.  The reel was lightened, and a new check was introduced:  The famous ‘1912 ratchet.’  It is this prewar version of the Perfect that anglers and collectors consider the “Perfect” Perfect.  It has a sound, power and a working smoothness to the check that has never been duplicated.
