South Bend 808, Shakespeare trade reel

This big green reel is headed my way. Not one you see every day.

Yeah. Now for the origin story. These old rare reels are fun and interesting. Some seem to have a knack for finding them.

I was doing a basic search on ebay and stumbled on it...wasn't even looking for one but figured I might not see another any time soon so I should grab it. I'm assuming it's late-60s production, seems that Shakespeare did a lot of private label/trade reels during that era.
