Red agate guides and tip-top. the rod is inscripted, EW Edwards "De Luxe" - the white writing turned yellow from the varnish is clear and bold void of any defects. Sculpted bakelite winding check. The grips are soiled as expected but the cork is in excellent shape. A filler was used on the natural voids in the cork at some point. Reel seat shows some tarnishing and a few teeth are missing as stated above. Bakelite butt cap. the ferrules are size 16/64, the fit is very nice. The rod has a fast action befitting of a baitcaster for pitching heavily weighted lures. The rod weighs 5.20 oz. Included are the original bag and tube. The bag is free of any tears or rips. The tube features the Mt. Carmel label 95% intact. This is a very nice addition to any collection of the Edwards' fan.
