Condition report:
The collection shows signs of extensive field use across all items, including surface scratches, scuffs, and dirt accumulation. Significant surface oxidation and corrosion are visible on the metal components, particularly the chrome bail arms and metal spools of the Daiwa DF-90 and the unmarked silver reels (photos 1 and 2). Pitting or salt-spotting is evident on several metal surfaces. One reel appears to have a bent bail arm (photo 1). Mechanical condition is untested and the reels are sold as-is; some small screws or decorative caps may be missing due to age.
