the first few baitcasters I got to use back when sure did frustrate the heck out of me .
thanks for the walk down BAD memory lane .....:Rofl
I would believe this little critter would be frustrating
throw some of that 1959 braided whatever it was line on it and give it one good cast today ....Quote:

Maybe clean it up and make a nice display out of it. It doesn’t look like a fun reel to use, but congrats on the find.

I believe it is destined for a shelf.
What’s it worth?…..just curious…..Seems like an antique lol
From what I could find either made in 1926 or 1953. That was the 2 years that made that number. It is not worth much. They are pretty common. Some are even for sale with the box and papers. It's real value is in being a conversation piece I guess.
An interesting span of years. I wonder if they found a lot of parts and decided to build them out.
