Shakespeare Trade Spinning Reels help

[claudemcm@bellsouth.net]

Hi,  This is my first post on this board.  I mostly just soak in the info posted here.  Anyway what I am looking for is  all the trade reels Shakespeare made in of the Maroon and Grey Sea Wonders and the 2068, 2065, 2064 and the 2062 and 2052 if they are not grouped with the Sea wonders.  I collect these reels and trying to identify all Shakes made for other companies.  I am missing acout a dozen that I know of.  4 of them are reels Shakespeare reels,  the 3 manual pickup reels  2064, 2082 and 2092.  If you can help me I will send or post my reels list to take a look at.  Thanks  Claude McMorris

Are you looking to obtain actual reels or looking for a comprehensive list of the reels (makes & models) made by Shakespeare & sold by Shakespeare and other various companies?

[claudemcm@bellsouth.net]

Of course I want to add all I am missing but really trying tro compile a list of all shakespeare made reels for any other company but only the Sea Wonders including the 2064, 2065, 2068, 2052 and 2062.  So all 2052 that are rebadged shakespeare and all the other maroon and grey reels.  Trade reels

How about you post a detailed list of all the reels that you know exist and I'll add to it any that you aren't aware of or have missed.

I have had some correspondence with the OP via FB and it's a LOT easier to communicate here. Claude and I have very similar interests as far as reels.

I feel like Horrocks-Ibbotson also sold a rebadged Shakespeare, model 1945 as I recall, but I can't seem to find any pics online. I want to say it was a 2062 but won't swear to it.

I have that on my list as well as a 1947 but I have seen no pictures or proof they exist yet.  I feel  certain especially since your post they must exist.

Another fan here; that's a nice bunch of reels to go after, not only to collect, but to use also.

If I get what I think is a mostly completed list I will Repost ann the trade reels I found them making.  I am interested in any reels that I dont have that is marked with --  or any not even on this list.  Trying to preserve a little history.  I also have a pretty extensive Mitchell collection,  quite a few italian reels Got all the eagle claw Mediterian reel  the old pal cat series,  Been collecting them for 30 plus years

[Midway Tommy]

I have seen both the HI 1945 & 1947 via eBay listings so I know they were actually made. It's been at least 8 or 10 years ago so I can't remember for sure which one was which model.

Your list is missing the Pfluegers Supreme 550 i.e. 2052, Supreme 551 i.e. 2062 & Supreme 600 i.e. 2081.
The Eagle Claw ECH is the 2081.

There are a few others missing from the list that I will add when I have a little more time.

If you know of any I am missing for sale send me an email claudemcm@bellsouth.net    Appreciate the help

I would have (also should  have) purchased the H-Is but they sold for way above my means at the time. Those things are extremely rare & hard to find.

Here are a few Shakespeare examples you don't have listed:

2070, 2080 & 2090 black textured finish. The black textured finish was offered as the first version prior to the charcoal gray reels & are very rare.

2064-RH, 2065-RH, 2068-RH, 2080-RH, 2090-RH These are right hand wind models & quite hard to find.

2064 & 2065 cutaway salesman samples.

You are correct.  I need to add those to my list.  I would love the black ones but I started collecting them too late and have never seen one for sale.  Nor have I seen a right crank one.  I would probably buy any RH one as there is only a few of them.  Mitchells I  only do left crank as there is so many.I will add these to my list.  Please send me others if you think of some.  I didnt know there was a Ted Williams VI that was a 2091A until recently.  that got me on the hunt again.  Hence I found this site. I have alot of knowledge of Mitchells if anyone needs some info.  Appreciate all the help I am getting    Thanks   Claude
