Title: Another oddball Shakespeare trade reel followed me home
Post by: CincyDavid on February 26, 2026, 03:09:37 PM
The semi-gloss black JC Higgins 535-42100 is a large Shakespeare SeaWonder variant. This one has a maroon Shakespeare leg and foot but that can be refinished readily enough. The emblem is present but needs to be reattached. I paid VERY little for this one and I'm hoping it cleans up well.

Looks like another big Sea Wonder.  Obviously, the original leg was replaced at some point.  Another winner!

Thanks Frank, these weird trade reels seem to just be falling out of trees lately.
