Berkley 420!

I bought this beautiful reel on Ebay last week and thought I'd show it off. It's brand new and around 40 - 50 years old... wait a sec, allow me to clarify. It WAS brand new half a century ago but it's been in the box and hasn't been on a rod, ever. It still has the original line on it which is well past its use-by date!

I haven't decided whether to actually fish with it or keep it cozy and safe in it's nice little box. I have two other slightly (cough) less pristine 420's so I'm thinking the latter.
