Title: Looking for vintage side plates
Post by: Crab Pot on July 19, 2023, 12:36:46 AM
I am a wood worker and I have a project in mind that will require non-handle plates, black, the ones with art work.

Looking for Beachmaster, Sufrmaster, Squider size, but tell be what you have.

Spool tensioner and clicker knobs hardware a must.

Thanks,

Steve

I got some surfmaster ones. Aren't those the same as the beachmaster?. I don't think I have any squidder reels or major components. At least not that I've seen.

Not sure, looking at my Surfmaster and Squider they have the same art but the text calls out what model they are.

My 155 is blank.

Not sure if different production phases had different art on the side or not?

I know side plate art was different over the years.

Does anyone know if there is a website or book detailing the side plate art over the years?

What ya got?

I got a lighthouse sideplate for sure, and probably others. I've got like 30# of sideplates.

I'll send one at a cost of "make me one"

Tell us what you have in mind for a project —-

And exactly what you want, Steve —-

Many of us have sideplates. 

I got rid of about 350 new plates 3 years ago to a dealer.

But I may have a few more lying around.

And others do also.

We just need to see what you are doing and how we might help without sending a bunch of photos back and forth —- and not knowing what you are planning.

The other side of the coin is:  many of us do not want to just send out sideplates unless they are going on a reel to make it ready for the salt.

Best, Fred

I'll be making a clock on an old ships wheel for the man cave.

I need non-handle side, black plates, with vintage art on them.

Squidder, Surfmaster, or Delmar size. Eight total with bearing cover and clicker knob.

I need four 6/0 sized of the same as above. I don't know what models that size had art but I'll look them up.
