Shakespeare Trade Spinning Reels help

[CincyDavid]

Just bought a Pflueger 550 today, overpriced ebay item that didn't sell, seller came back and asked for an offer, which they accepted. Oddly enough I don't own a 2052 yet, so I guess I need a half dozen 2052s. Do we know what color the II 1945 and 1947 were?

Correction...what color were the HI 1947/1947?

I found a couple of shakespeare reels a 1920 Wondereel, model FK, very heavey reel for its size, abut the same size as the pflueger akron, and the other is a Shakespeare Triumph, model FK or FR, hard to see it, once again nice heavey reel, cheers Don.

A few of my 2062 variants.

It's been so long ago that I don't remember for sure. For some reason I'm thinking goldish or brassish, but don't quote me on it.

I have never even seen a picture of the H-I versions. Guess I just need to keep my eyes open and see if I stumble on one at some point.

Is this an example of the HI reel?



If so, it's available at a good "buy it now" price: https://www.ebay.com/itm/375685669681?itmmeta=01K4MYEM4MPDFX7W4724DGR06W&hash=item57789c6331:g:718AAOSwsotm~Kfq&itmprp=enc%3AAQAKAAAA4MHg7L1Zz0LA5DYYmRTS30k3fb%2BjYtx7KDlzP7%2Bw3rf6WLiS9dYo61cHKCGrzfy8YhNWHX21XUIhZgKD8TtYBRgwz17riU0KXXcbgKKE3VLj3aZwtHJW8ohIUp2r6I9E9kSeotAXUW33xE0ymwCeMZac3UMVtI0roKTdmzQOQMFAbPH6GuVNXUIsKCZIhxIZzNEVgcoCvy6mqVodaRklLx6CT%2B3s56AjqzKnXsqoI%2BpUPpkom2QXarCTbl0BFXwhSvKiYR2UhJIFK01H1b%2B%2BUlgCdyMcFabuo3ZFTDeCN970%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7LCup6lZg

That's not one of the Shakespeare-built ones but that may give us a clue about the color scheme. I've seen some two-tone green H-I reels too, not too far from Heddon greens.

No, that's one of their cheap, more or less, junk models. You also see them a lot in green. The models 1945 & 1947 are & look exactly the same as the Shakespeare 2052 & 2062 only in a different color.

Good to know.
