Thanks again Mike for posting these pics for me, I did not mention, the box of red head matches, on the second shelf from the bottom, just for size comparison, also on the top shelf there is a Pflueger Akron 1893, reel for size comparison, I think this reel was made around 1916. cheers Don

Very nice Don, now you have more closet space to fill
Your collection and display is very impressive. Love the mirror behind the reels. It instantly doubles your collection and all the bling !!

What is that spinning reel in the top/right of the cabinet? It looks huge with a lot of line capacity!
Thanks everyone, Chad the spinning reel top Right with the shinny hook, is the Australian made Sea Martin, they were made in the mid 60`s, the hook revolves back & forth giding the line onto the spool, in a criss cross pattern, cheers Don.
Very nice cabinet and collection Don, I hope you'll get many years of enjoyment from it.

Niiiiiiice! Bill
Cool... Dominick
Thanks Sal, Bill & Dom, Basto,it took a bit of elbow grease, the 10/0 is quite rough externally, I had two of them, placed all the best parts in one & sold it to a mate for half the price it cost me for the two of them, this one, I still have I was going to fish with it, so I converted it to CF drag washers, the gearing is in really good condition. good Senator are a bit hard to come by here in Aussie, specialy the small, 1/0 & 1/0`s, also the 12/0 to the 16/0, cheers Don.
Very nice cabinet and a cool collection or reels you got there Don
