On display is a vintage South Bend “OREN-O-MATIC” No. 1140  “FREE STRIPPING” balanced fly rod reel  with the original box and operating/care instructions (copyright date 1946) and a advertisement fold out (copyright date 1948). Made by the South Bend Bait Company of South Bend, Indiana. The reel is in good condition and is in working order and has some light scratches on the surface as can be seen in the pictures. The box is in very good  condition with very little surface wear. Overall this is a very nice vintage automatic fly reel with the original box and operating instructions and would make a nice addition to any fly fisherman’s reel collection.
