Extremely Rare 1/100 Never sold preproduction Zebco 1970 reel

This reel was never offered for sale. Quote a writeup below on it. There was only 100 preproduction Zebco 1970's made but never offered for sale before cancelled, never making it to the market. Very few of the 100 are still in existence today, this one appears to have never even been used.

Feel free to make an offer but I feel I already Severely underpriced a reel this rare.

"This is a spinning reel that few people even know existed, let alone have ever seen. It's the Zebco 1970. In the late 1960s the Zebco tooling purchased from Langley began to show a lot of wear. Zebco wanted to manufacture a high quality spinning reel so R.D. Hull oversaw the design and production of their new reel named the Zebco 1970 for release in 1970. One hundred preproduction models and twelve clear plastic salesman samples were made. Zebco had contracted with ABU for distribution of the Zebco Cardinal line so a decision was made to not go into full production of the 1970 and compete with the Cardinals."
