I would like to sell this item to those who understand that it is old and used. This is an Alcedo MERCURY MADE IN ITALY. I am selling it to organize my collection. There is a gritty feel, but the basic operation is not a problem. I think it is in decent condition for its age. It is a reel with a unique form and a beautiful kingfisher emblem. You can use it, but you may also use it as a display. Weight (using a household scale): 335g Please check the condition in the photos. Please refrain from price negotiations. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for perfection or are overly sensitive.
