Title: Thirty Dollar Flea Market Find
Post by: George6308 on August 09, 2018, 01:28:07 PM
My son picked up these three rods and reels for $30 at a Bethlehem PA flea market.
Are are in working order except the Langley which needs the anti-reverse repaired. The rods all of which are brown fiberglass construction need to be rebuilt.

Thank you very much for the photos and PM George.  It's like a flash-back to the 1960's.  There are some experts around here that could pin the dates down a little closer.  You have a good son.
