Fully Guaranteed & Serviced by the Garcia Corporation. The warranty card has a little space to affix a quarter so as to cover the cost of return shipping. Can't help but love it. As best I can figure, this reel is roughly 1961 - 1965 vintage, and consequently older than I am. She's essentially new in the box. Not a scratch anywhere on it. Certainly never lined; likely never taken out of the box. Have to thank Ebay - and sellers who do not properly label the items they sell - for my new (old) Garcia (Young) Narrow Spool Beaudex.

She's so damn sexy in black ...

 

The discoloration you see in the photographs is simply dust from the inside of a forty year-old cardboard box.
