A photo would help date it closer, but the 2CS was made from about 1949 - 1982. Post 1975s were two tone green and cream.

Thanks for the info. The reel body is green, and the spool looks to be a darker green,maybe black.
Serial # 30234. Medallion says L'Alcedo, with a bird with a fish in its mouth. Hope this helps, as I have never learned how to post pictures.

L'Alcedo would be '59-'65. The medallion would be pinned on, not glued, correct? A little deeper research should be able to pin down the 30,000 serial # time-line, but I'm not where I can access that info right now.
