Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Digging through some old stuff not sure if worth saving.

They'd make a cool display for sure.

Wordens Belt Reels are pretty collectable if they are in decent/good working condition. 

The three indiana reels look line they have usable parts. The handles go first in old ones. I made mine from dowels

Thanks for the info fellows.
I was bequeathed a huge box of old reels, a lot of old Penn offshore models, 285, 209,etc. Many of Bakelite material. Various conditions, a lot are for parts. I cherry picked 6 of the best ones and sent them to Fred Oakes to restore. They turned out very nice, Cardinal 4, Dam Quick, small Mitchell's.
I'm sure after I'm gone, they will fetch a few pennies on the dollar.
