BILL BALLAN FLY REEL "FIRST BUILT" COMMEMORATIVE MINT Bidding has ended

BILL BALLAN COMMEMORATIVE HERITAGE FLY REEL

FIRST BUILT AND ONE OF A KIND SERIAL NUMBER “1”

Offered is a very nice Bill Ballan Heritage Line Classic Fly Reel. The reel was purchased by me from Bill over twenty plus years ago. It was the First reel built celebrating his ‘to be’ New “Heritage” line of reels. The reel has never been fished, lined or mounted and has sat in it’s Very Nice Custom Hard Leather and Fleece case since it was purchased. This is a reel that can be used or displayed. Why Not Both! A real Work Horse, Bill Ballan is known for his Engineering prowess and attention to Detail, Fit and Finish which this reel will surely attest too.

The Ballan is set up for right hand wind and can hall in a tug boat if the demand is such… But better dressed with a nice 4 or 5 weight line and married to any fine Cane or Composite rod. (more...)

300 Mitchell 70th Anniversary Gold Trim Reel in Box Bidding has ended

All knowledgeable Mitchell Collectors and Historians I've ever talked to have told me that they agree on my study of the first version 300 series called "The Mitchell" where I state it was first made in the late thirties. Since we really don't know for a fact the exact year and to be safe, 1939 is acceptable. They also know I have overwhelming factual and a LOT of circumstantial evidence to prove this.

Unfortunately all records from the thirties to the beginning of mass production in 1946 has never been found. Because of this; some believe and publish 1946 is when the first version was made knowing that in 1946/47 the third version was being sold!

Mike and I thought it would be nice to celebrate the 70th anniversary. In our enthusiasm, we truly believed a very special 70th Anniversary reel should be made to celebrate. Due to self funding and after a lot of failed attempts, we ended up with three that were somewhat acceptable.

Here's one of three made and paid for. This was my original Mitchell 3rd Version marked #011. Two others were made with plans for a total of 10-2nd versions and 90-3rd versions in total. Our plan was to try get back what it costs us, it was not a money making scheme. It's also highly marked not to be EVER be confused as an original. The box is hand-crafted walnut, the final result from an "artist" in Texas. (more...)

VIRGINIA reel - ultra rare - MUST SEE Closing : Feb-24-09 17:51:18 PST Bidding has ended

Nice no problem old reel. Rather than a spring to facilitate the auto retrieve this reel uses a rubber band, sort of like an old balsa airplane does. Band is housed in the long apperture that sticks out like a sore thumb. An awful concept but it makes for a real conversation piece and a very scarce and collectible reel. One very small nick to the anodizing on the back and barely visible original price in marker remnants. A9.9, M10. Also selling a Benson and other Indiana types so please see my other auctions. This ships to the lower 48 for $7.50, all others ask for quote. I will combine shipping. Ask about optional payment methods. Thanks for looking.

Antique Vintage Shakespeare Worden's Revolution Lure !! Bidding has ended

Shakespeare's BUCKTAIL

REVOLUTION Lure 1901

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 bizzarre surface lure is one ABSOLUTELY EXCELLANT example of the Bucktail Revolutions, and you don't see many of them around at all, especially in this condition; ESPECIALLY UNDER A BUCK!!! (99 cents)...... (check out the pictures) ...as nice as I've seen down here; they DO NOT show up in antique stores, and when I have found them in Lures Shows; the owners want a bloody fortune for them, no matter what condition they're in....this one is missing one hook tine, off the treble hook.... it doesn't detract much from the display quality of the lure; not much at all... these are well over 100 YEARS OLD, and some of the most collectible of ancient metal lures available on the market today!!! I collect the most unusual lures and fishing hardware that I can find on the market and antique stores throughout the South. Watch my items up for auction over the course of the next month for the best and most sought after lures out there!!!

Run of the mill lures are a dime a dozen... while REAL lures are extremely animated and were the very best that the lure makers had to offer you. This lure is indeed a piece of history, and not for the faint of heart (or pocket book). You'll see more of these over time, but NOT in this condition, and this lure is a VERY EARLY ONE.... Patent Applied For written on one of the Mickey Mouse blades.... it took a while to get the patent into place; even back then......Rare in any condition, is not a stretch....RARE IN THIS CONDITION? Most definately, not a stretch, This LURE IS AWESOME, and you'll agree!

Payment should be within 10 days of the end of the auction....Paypal. Shipping and handling is $4.75...if you want insurance, I'll add that to it. I'LL COMBINE ALL SHIPPING WHETHER YOU WIN ONE OR TWENTY LURES, as long as it's all on the same day....same shipping fees, $4.75 ships ALL lures....Now, if you win a tackle box, then the larger shipping fee for the box applies. Insurance will be added (no cost to you), and a USPS Delivery Confirmation that you'll sign for. CANADIAN? Your shipping is FREE!!! That's fairly bold, but it's less to ship them to Canada than the Lower 48 now... who would know?

Your lures will be carefully packaged and sent out to you immediately after receiving your payment. If paying by check, your lures will be sent promptly after the check clears. The hooks will be covered with surgical tubing and lures bubble wrapped. My packaging is the best that anyone could offer you, I assure you...NOTHING goes out without a box, unless you were to specifically request it....and even then, only on some lure like a metal spoon, that couldn't be broken or maimed.

VINTAGE HARDY MARVEL 7 �' 3/2 BAMBOO FLYROD FLY ROD Bidding has ended

Up for bids is this vintage Hardy Marvel 7'1/2" 3/2 fly rod.(1965-1966) Marked on the butt "THE MARVEL PALAKONA REGD, TRADEMARK 7 1/2". The rod is in very good original condition and weighs in at 3 oz. The varnish is in excellent shape with no scratches, bag marks, or hook marks. This rod handles a 4-weight line quite nicely. As usual with Hardy rods all the sections are slightly different lengths. The rod bag is even sewn for the shorter tips. The rod shows no signs of repairs or restoration and the rod measures just over 7 ½" long when assembled. The ferrules are tight and they come with the original ferrule protectors, but one ferrule tip wrap needs rewrap as you can see in the photo. I never used this tip for avoid damages and because I don´t know how rewrap .All the hardware is in nice untouched original condition. The cork is also in nice condition with no loss or hook digs of any kind. This rod has a nice agate-stripping guide. Nice to find the bag and tube in great shape and with this rod as I'm told you had to purchase the tube separatly. Hardy tube and bag

Mitchell Vintage Reel Reference Guide Dennis Roberts DL Bidding has ended

Listing is for a Mitchell Collectors Guide #

Final markdown! before private Sale

act quickly otherwsie the book will be sold outside of EBAY TO an interested individual

By Dennis Roberts

Perhaps one of the most coveted and esteemed books on the subject of collecting. Very Limited production with absolutely no plans for any additional printings which is driving up the price and it will continue to appreciate in value over time. Everything you ever wanted to know about the company that changed the way we fish.

Book is near Mint due to one small crease at the lower right corner otherwise its perfect.(see picture) No rips, tears, or stains. May have been read once or twice but for the most part been stored away. Signed and Numbered #29 (very low Number) This book belonged to a well known NJ Dealer who played an integral role in Fostering Mr Robert's Interest in Mitchell Reels. Hence the low Number, which were reserved for close friends and family. Ive read the book over and now ready to sell I priced it to sell at $450 since higher book # these have sold for about that price in the past (more...)

Vintage Mitchell 408 Reel MIB Near MINT Ultralight BOX Bidding has ended

Listing is for a vintage Mitchell 408 Spinning ultralight Reel in correct Box

#371827?

Mechanically it works great no issues . Very Well made reel

please note that on used items grading is subjective and I prefer not to grade or

accept returns on used items because of visual signs of use. Thats why i provided 4 closeups so you can see. There are a few small rubs on the lower cup and on the reel foot where it may have mounted briefly on a rod, but for the most part its as good as it gets without the price tag of a new/Mint reel.

FIN NOR TYCOON NO. 4 SPINNING REEL - NEVER FISHED MINT! Bidding has ended

Fin Nor “Tycoon” No. 4 Spinning Reel

"Near Mint Condition"

Offered is a “Near Mint” condition Never Fished Fin Nor “Tycoon” No. 4 Spinning reel. The reel has all Original Documentation including correspondence from the original owner to Fin Nor. There is an extra Medallion engraved with the original owner’s name. It is said that the reel was a gift and unfortunately never fished. The original box is in Excellent condition and the reels soft padded case is in “Like New” “Mint” condition. All documentation including the sales tag from whom and where I purchased it over 15 years ago.

Those looking at the Fin Nor “Tycoon” knows of it’s venerable reputation for Tournament and Big Game Fishing. This “Was” the reel that was given to Presidents and Royalty. And if you were any kind of Big Game or Tournament fisherman, your boat had at least several of these aboard. The reel is built like a Tank and further built with the intent that the reel could be taken down and maintained or ‘tweaked’ to one’s taste or feel. This is One Magnificent Reel! A MUST for any Collector or for those that want the Best in a Professional Big Game Reel.

More modern offerings like the Van Staal has found fit to use a similar ‘non bail’ system on their Big Game reels. Those that have used the Non Bail system will appreciate the absence of the one thing that most often fails or is most vulnerable to accentual and under pressure breakage; the Bail.

What keeps this reel from being "Mint" condition, possibly a bit of oxidation on the housing. It's even and most wouldn't object. Still the Nicest I have seen on the Secondary Market. There are other's on eBay; you get what you pay for. It is said 'you soon forget price if the Quality is there...'

Please carefully view the Ultra Tight Close Up photos, in that it’s like examining the reel with a 10x or stronger loop. Extremely Critical and magnifies every speck of dust or imperfection. (more...)
