  Yes cheesy hollywood starlets but I'm a sucker for vintage stuff. But I still don't know what the Babe was doing with an Alvey.

Thanks for sharing those Ninja. I especially like the one of Ruby with the cut off bibs. She looks like she is ready to catch a big one!

[DaBigOno]

Cool pics Ninja!

I especially like the one of Ruby with the cut off bibs.

I like the one of Ava in the surf

That's not an Alvey. That is an Ol' Delrin Side Winder with a Brass Reel Seat & Shaft for the Spool to ride on. I wish I had one now. The Sharpies still use them for Black Fish here. VERY TREASURED REELS

Good eye Mike, I wasn't looking at the Babe or his Ol'delrin, I was more interested in the 5th, 6th and 7th pic of that nice 180 baymaster

I loved these.  Thanks for posting.  I am going to borrow Wayne's waders and post pictures of myself in a bathing suit and waders.  I'll hold a rod and reel to soften the photos.    Dominick

Mike Bluefish, You are half right on the Sidewinder. The old ones were made of Bakelite [ Delrin wasn't yet invented] The new generation winders are made of Delrin, much heavier but way tougher. That reel was probably a Uneeda or a Lucky Brand. If you don't put on a soft backing, like cotton butchers twine the mono would warp the spool badly. Back then they used Cuttyhunk line so it wasn't an issue. And if I'm not mistaken the other fisherman with the Bambino was Lou Gerhig.
