Vintage 9/0

broadway · June 28, 2014, 01:09:37 AM

I have to ask... I've been watching a reel on ebay for 7 days now and it just went off for $1625. I bid $1000
But clearly wasn't even close $:-\$ . Just curious if one of my compadres was the lucky winner? This is a museum quality piece with the box in unreal condition (80 years old!). Here's the link so use can all drool like I've been for 7 days.

Keep those eyes open for hidden treasures like this one ...and then call me so we can make a deal.

Must've gone to a big-time collector... no one in their right mind would actually fish with such a museum-quality piece.

For that much dough, I'd buy several Internationals and have 'em souped up by Cal.

I saw that. A first edition. Sorry you didn't get it Dom. It wasn't me brother. I have as many 9/0's as I do 12's.

Really unique, and amazing condition. Sorry you missed it.

Very nice reel. I wonder if it came with the leather thumb drag. Too bad you didn't get it Dom.

If it was a Newell I would have bid on it.

Not I, way out of my budget.

I missed seeing that one, must've been mighty purty.
Sorry to hear your bid got trumped so hard.

Carl Newell was a child when that reel was made.

I let you slide on that one Mike, I have too many Newell friends

BTW, it wasn't me guys, I wouldn't have paid more than $200 for that reel. $:-\$

i'd like to see the collection of the man that bought that one!

I missed that eBay listing. Dom, thanks for posting. I am with Alan, I would like to see his other reels.

I knew I would get a beating from someone but had to do it anyway.

Thanks crew, was really hoping to see te collection of the collector that bought it (like Alan said).

Sal, I believe, agree, and pretty much follow everything you do, but if you'd only bid $200 on that reel... You just didn't want it in the first place. That's a piece of fishing reel history right there. Can't help but think the IGFA may have bought that for the fishing hall of fame. It certainly would be a piece they would acquire.
Anyway, keep your eyes peeled.
Thanks
Dom

I believe that was someone's missing piece, usually you don' t get a chance to bit on any of those with the wooden handle with no line that haven't been used.
Someone always makes an offer that a seller can't refuse, eBay rules or not, they always disappear.
That reel wouldn't have had much value for me or you, unless you had most the others with the same feature, still would have been nice to have.
Few years back I bit on a new 12/0, same as what you see above, that one was new. I thought if I placed a bit the seller would let the auction run...wrong, it disappeared $:-\$ .
