Used but excellent original condition, circa 1950's with the "sold by Abercrombie and Fitch, New York" roller stamp. The varnish is in very good original condition with a few very minor scratches from hooks. Faint beginnings of casting cracks at the ferrule wraps. The oxidation on the ferrules is 98% original.
