A very rare and sought after piece, this unique shaped Wee Dee in frog pattern (series 4819) was created in 1936, but gone right after WWII. Created to replace the Weed Bug, it comes with 3 single hooks, 2 wire weed guards (one is missing, but can probably be created or replaced), a long wire line tie, 2 glass eyes positioned on the top of the head. There is a small chip on the corner of both sides of the chin, the right rear, and the top right left of the bait. For the most part, bright and shiny and highly displayable. In comes in a solid correctly stamped 4819 box and the famous old man on the pier pocket catalog that comes in full color. Here is a complete set for somebody's collection that will be the envy of your fellow CCB collectors.

This is a vintage R.L. Winston graphite Fly Fishing Rod. The label on the rod reads THE WINSTON ROD R.L. WINSTON ROD CO. SAN FRANCISCO CALIF. I don't know when they moved there rod making to Montana, but apparently this rod was made before they moved. This is a dainty little 7 foot 4 inch #4, 1 5/8 oz. rod, the tube is also a Winston, but has the Twin Bridges Montana address, so I don't know for sure if it went with this rod, the sock is just marked R.L. Winston Rods. The condition is just amazing, looks like it was used just a few times, I would call it near mint, not counting the tube. The only 'wear' I see at all is a little dirt on the cork handle. It would be hard to find a nicer-vintage Winston rod. If I didn't have 4 fly rods I would keep this one. Check my other auctions for some other great fishing items from a few estate sales. I am listing a vintage sila flex fiberglass fly rod, a old pflueger medalist reel, and lots of other reels. High bidder to pay $13.00 for shipping, More outside the USA. I will give a break on shipping if you win more than one item.

Fin-Nor is the top of the line name in Big Game Reels. We paid $1,200 for this reel for tournament/competition tuna fishing a few years ago, and never lost a fish with this fantastic reel, we even landed a 562 pounder with it. Its only been used a handful of times and always well taken care of, everything on it is in prime working condition, smooth click and drag adjustment, strong brake, and its reels butter smooth and it has the famous Fin-Nor gold non-corrosive coating and ergonomic handle and it weighs in at 3.5 pounds! The outside casing on on the Fin-Nor marked non handle side of the reel has some light surface scuffing but other than this, this reel is in fantastic condition and I will unconditionally guarantee it to be in top working order in every way or your money will be cheerfully refunded. If you are looking for that tournament reel that can handle the big heavy game fish, then this is your reel!

This was a $1200 reel new, but as with all of my auctions it starts at .99 with NO RESERVE so everyone has a chance and its guaranteed to be as described. Dont miss the opportunity to add this genuine FIN-NOR Reel to your collection. Please see photo's for actual item offered and condition. As always, I am happy to combine shipping on multiple items and I only charge for the actual weight of the box, no matter how many items you win.

I will be listing many more interesting items & rare antiques and will be adding new listings almost daily, please check back often.

Offering with No Reserve a Very nice reel that I know nothing about, I am not a Fishing collector. "Automatic-Combination Reel Style A. Aluminum". Original box. Patent dates on reel are Feb 28, of 1888, June 16th of 1891, on the clip on back-Patent is AUG 1.1899, AND 6759? on the inside. Measures APPROX.: 2-1/2" across the face and 1-1/4" thick,.Has a Wind-up handle on the side, with a little slide that says "FREE," under it "AUT." It winds easily, and the bar slides, and it spins easily.

The Box is very sturdy, but shows lots of wear. I have taken very close pictures that can also be enlarged for more detail. Looks like it needs cleaning, and will leave that to those who know how. I am not sure, but the dark areas inside feel like grease/oil?, and should clean up nicely.
Thanks for Looking, and if you have Any questions please ask. I will try my best to answer. I will also be listing an Ambassadeur, and a few others from the same Estate.

Up for auction is an outstanding example of the rare ABU (A. B. Urfabriken) model 600 spinning reel. The 600 was the second model spinning reel offered by ABU. The reel was introduced in 1952 and discontinued in 1953. This is a rare reel in any condition and seldom found with the original box and owners manual. The reel is in nice collector condition and shows little use. The cup shows some light rubs and the 2 side plates are perfect as is the handle, knob and drag adjustment knob. This half bale reel works as designed and is very smoooth.

The right side-plate has raised letters saying "A.B. URFABRIKEN" and under this is found "SWEDEN".

The graphics on the box are outstanding, probably the best graphics ever to go on a reel box. The graphis are excellent with no damage. One side edge has split but only the covering paper. The box is quite sound and very sturdy, no evidence of water damage-ever. The owners manual is in excellent clean, not yellowed condition. A couple partial separations on 2 of the folds.

Here is a nice Penn Senator 12/0 Big Game Reel. This reel could be used for Crappie all the way up to Sharks and Marlin. The reel has wear and corrosion as seen in photos. Works great. It is in used condition. My photos should show all and as always feel free to ask. Photos do show some glare. Please email with any questions. SHIPPING: Multiple items save on shipping. US buyer to pay actual Priority Mail postage (plus insurance if desired)The total will be $15.80. Shipping to Japan determined after auction. PAYMENTS: I prefer PAYPAL, a postal money order and I accept all major credit card payments through PayPal only. Please don't ask me to end my auctions early. Soory for having to relist this reel. I had messed my description up so bad I felt I had to just start over.
