Here is a nice 15/0 Fin-Nor "CT" model that has been well cared for it shows only a few lighter scratches and no signs of corrosion. Drag still works well it's very smooth as does two speed. From comparing it to a few other similar reels I believe this is a later model maybe 1940 to 1943 but that is a guess. I would love to fish one of these big buggers some day !!!! Enjoy and thanks for looking !! John Taylor
