Flea market box for $10

[Christopher M Songer]

Annual Holy Mackerel Fishermans flea started Thurs and ended today. Always fun and I never leave empty handed. I serviced a few reels for the guy who runs it. Just looked at a box I bought for $10. Whole box of reels in bags, taken apart, not sure if stuff is missing. I am sure there is but what the hell.
First pic left to R Ambassadeur 5500C, Millionaire 3R, Millionaire II, Ambassedeur 5000C, Ambassedeur 5500C.

Second pic Heddon Heritage, Kmart 107, Pflueger 1895 x2, Tru Temper 940F, Shakespear Wondercast 1772, South Bend 450 model D

At least 10 more in the box I figure as junk or donors for parts, but mostly junk. I do not usually buy like this, but the first 5 reels look like I can get at least 2 or 3 together. LOL
This will be next year's project when I get slow. Right now, too many Lake Erie charter reels need my attention. Is there a 12 step program for me?
