Up for auction is very RARE Turner Co. "Spider Lure" in its original box, with the paper order form. This lure is MINT, never used, no rust and very unusual. This lure was made by Turner Co. Hale, Mo and I am told there were only about 100 of them made. The paperwork states they were only $2.00 plus 2% sales tax which should help date it. There are instuctions on how to use the bait on this order form. RARE RARE RARE. The original box does not have a lid, but I have never seen a lid for these so I dont know if they sold them without lids or what. Dont miss out on the opportunity to add this SUPER RARE lure to your collection. Check out my other auctions as I am listing several VERY RARE "Spring Loaded" hooks/lures, tackle boxes, reels this week. Buyer to pay $4.05 priority shipping and I will be happy to combine shipping on multible auction winners.

Up for auction is an near mint Stan Bogdan large trout fly reel. 3.25 inches in diameter. Will hold a 5 weight flyline and 50 yards of 20 pound of backing. The reel has been fished, but shows no sign of wear. The reel is set up for right hand retrieve, but I can change it to left hand retrieve upon request. The flyline is not included in this auction. This reel comes from the mid 70's, and was built by Stan himself. An excellent opportunity to fish with the best, or an excellent addition to any collection. The reel is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction early it becomes unavailable. Happy bidding!

Ole Florida Fly Shop is pleased to present a beautiful Seamaster Mark III Fly Reel. This classic Black and Gold reel is right hand retrieve and is the ultimate in big game reels. There's some very light scratches on the frame, one on the spool and a few light ones on the handle. The corners of the reel foot show a touch of wear. Other than that, it looks great and works perfectly. I would grade the condition a 9.0 out of 10.

This very rare reel is in good condition. I understand only about 100 of these alma reels were made from the late 1920s to the mid 1930s. They were made in several different size with this one being the largest. This reel has been used and shows the nicks and scratches one would expect from a big game reel that is about 80 years old. It weighs about 10 pounds. Every thing works very well. It needs a good cleaning. It is 6 1/4 inches from outside edge to outside edge.

Description (revised)
Item Specifics
Type : Spinning Reel Brand: ABU SWEDEN
YOU ARE BIDDING ON AN
ABU SWEDEN SPINNING REEL... IT IS A CARDINAL 6X HIGH SPEED REEL. MY HUSBAND THINKS THIS MODEL WAS MADE LATE 1970 OR EARLY 1980. THE COLOR OF THE REEL I WOULD BEST DESCRIBE AS "MAROON". YOU CAN PROBABLY GET A BETTER IDEA BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURES. I FOUND IT WHILE CLEANING OUT THE GARAGE. SEEMS MY HUSBAND HAS IT FOR OVER TEN YEARS....HAS NO IDEA WHERE HE GOT IT FROM. HAS NO NEED FOR IT. (HE SEEMS TO LIKE THOSE "BIG" REELS INSTEAD!!!) ANYWAY, HE SAID I COULD HAVE IT IF I WANTED IT FOR MY "EBAY" STUFF ! IT IS STILL IN ITS ORIGINAL BOX , ALTHOUGH, THAT ITSELF, IS NOT IN THE "BEST" CONDITION AS YOU CAN PROBABLY TELL BY LOOKING AT THE PICTURES. THE REEL, HOWEVER, IS "BRAND NEW" CONSIDERING IT HAS NEVER BEEN USED. THERE ARE SOME VERY "MINOR" SCRATCHES ON THE "COLORED" PART. I DID MY BEST TO TAKE SOME CLOSE-UP SHOTS OF THE MOST VISIBLE ONES.THERE ARE NO "PAPERS" IN THE BOX BUT THERE IS THIS CUTE LITTLE TUBE OF OIL IN THERE...NEVER BEEN OPENED. I SHOOK IT AND THERE DOES SEEM TO BE "OIL" IN THERE. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THAT TOO. OH YEAH, I ALSO TOOK A PICTURE OF THE HANDLE (I THINK (?) WHICH HAS A NUMBER ON IT. I CAN'T MAKE IT OUT VERY WELL SO I TOOK A CLOSE UP OF THAT ALSO. MAYBE SOMEONE WILL HAVE BETTER LUCK THAN ME "FIGURING" IT OUT! MIGHT BE A SERIAL NUMBER OR SOMETHING. I HAVEN'T GOT A CLUE!

The red finish on the left side is uneven (see photos). Comes with the case (that is quite worn and coming apart), the oil and parts containers (I couldn't remove the parts container but I show the extra parts that are included).

Shakespeare's REVOLUTION Lure
First appeared in 1901, and sold throughout Michigan like Wildfire. They couldn't keep up with the demand, and the word about this lure was mostly spreading by mouth, newspapers and magazines were slow to come out at that time period...; it was obvious where the name came from; they couldn't keep these on the shelf. This lure put William Shakespeare, the Lure Maker, on the map. This SHAKESPEARE REVOLUTION IS IN GREAT SHAPE, and you don't see many of them around at all, especially in this condition....
