If it did turn out to be collectible, and someone was interested for their collection, I'd happily pass it on rather than kicking it about in my seatbox and messing it up.

I think your reel is the ceramic paint finish model, if you look carefully at the paint finish on the rotor it looks like a tan base coat with black speckles all over it, the Champagne finish has a smooth glitter look to it :) :cheers:

Thank you Sir, I think that makes it a 'user' and I'm not disappointed about that!
