Please
check out my other ebay fine items for sale. I will
consider combining items for a special price. All items are clean and come from
a smoke-free environment.
What
we have here is a vintage AIREX spinning reel, a Beachcomber Model 1, circa 1953 - 1956, made in the U.S.A. by the
Lionel Corporation. Known as the earliest
American made saltwater spinning reel!
The
reel is in VG condition overall, a 7/8 on the ORCA reel rating score. The reel is
clean, lubricated and operates smoothly.
It is spooled with premium mono.
It has a gear ratio of 3.9:1, with 250/15 mono
line capacity, weighing approximately 15 oz. with the line. The reel features
metal construction, adjustable front reel drag, full bail, medium/heavy class, anti-reverse,
folding handle, and a black torpedo shaped handle knob that turns freely.
The
reel can be used for fishing for a long time given proper care, or especially as
a collectible.
S&H at the 2 lb. rate, my choice of carrier!
