A light 7inch spinning reel by Manny Hass (Warner Beach).Not sure what type of wood its turned from.Circa 1960's

Wow, thing of beauty!

Some fabulous old pieces there Toby... do you own all these?

 

[tobyshark]

Yes Reefman I have quite a large collection of fishing memorabilia.I must have over 100 wooden scarboroughs (probably half need repairs though).I know an old reel turner who refurbishes them for me so he probably does one a month.

 

[Whisky]

Ever thought of selling any, or maybe your bud can make me one?

Hi Whisky,

Sorry bud but none for sale.I can ask the old boy if he would be willing to turn one from scratch for you.
