Here is another old salt with some obvious problems .
Looks like an Elephant stepped on it and Broke the Right Side Plate and bent the Chrome Ring .
The thing works flawlessly with its Boo Boo though .
Hope it still does after I repair the plate and straighten the Ring ..........
This has the embedded Nut in it for the removable Clicker Spring so maybe some identification of age can be made?

Some one has Replaced the Drags at some point with Carbon ones and the Guts of this other than some Roughness needing a bit of polishing Between the Sleeve and Bridge Plate are in Pretty Good Shape .
