Saw another one of these posted in here and thought I’d see if anyone had any knowledge to spit at me about this reel.
Wife’s farm got hit by a tornado and we had to go back and salvage what we could of the wreckage. Found this reel in an old piece of furniture. Wife seems to think it was her grandfathers but said I could have it. AI says it’s dated 1958/59 according to the serial number. It spins decent for the rats nest of line that it has on it. Thinking about taking it to the local gear supplier and seeing if they can do a professional cleaning, re lining, and maybe match up a pole to it. If y’all might have a recommendation for a good pole to match it with that’d be cool.
