Here's a great old reel...it was priced within the reach of the masses...and Shakespeare made 'em by the millions. Don't ya just love the side of the box? "Thumbless"..."No backlashes"...how long have manufacturers been lying about this?
                                                                                                                                                 

Boy Mo, you're great at finding these nice old reels in top condition.

Thanks b or b...its how I spend the winter months...can't wait to get a rod in my hands!

Looks good mo , where did you come across that one..john

Great reel for any collection, or to sell to a collector. Reel Companies have been stating //// No back lashes /// for a good 80-100 yrs. Never seen one that was truthful yet.

nice reel MO i found one on ebay the other day and was thinking about buying it but it was not in this good of condition
