Tough to find a reel with that dramatic mottling. Great Find.

Lately, there have been some 49's following me home. I picked up these three, over the last 6 weeks, or so....total for everything was less than $70...reels AND shipping, so, they're in my "budget", anyway. Only 1 broken ring in the bunch, too !

1st one is pretty clean, and has an aluminum spool.....sometimes there are "good things", underneath all the old , crappy ,line !

2nd one looks to be an "older version"...rosewood knob, and no part number on the stand, although it does have a "regular" chick button. It's got a "brown plastic" spool, and, the only broken outside ring in the bunch !

#3 just came in the mail, yesterday, that weird , home made knob, while "interesting", will have to go, though !! Once I got the line off, I was surprised to see a spool that, so far, is "unknown" to me ! I've got plastic, "three piece} heavy metal, the "vented", both still "intact", and with the "vented arbor cover" removed, and aluminum...but this one is "different"...looks to be two pieces, joined in the center ???

Those are some pretty 49's, I love the rosewood handle!
The spool in the last one is interesting.  I bet it would be the easiest style to widen for my wide 49. 
Let me know if you might be interested in trading it  ;)
Great finds for a great price!

I *should* be good on a replacement ring.....I ended up with a "spare", or two, from a donor reel, when I built the "beefed up" , 49 / 349 cross breed. But, thanks for the offer ! Those parts are getting pretty "scarce", to say the least ! Especially the "handle side" ring !  Thanks again !...........

   Holy moly Chris...that Silver Beach is insane! How could a reel so old be so clean? I have a '39 Long Beach the same way...I guess they got shoved to the back of a sock drawer for 75 years.
   I missed your earlier post about the mottled Atlantic. I scored a mottled Delmar 285 a few years ago. It had a face like Walter Matthau when I got it. The first pic is "just as I found it". I cleaned it up, but the chrome was too far gone. Those dramatic side plates deserved more, so I pimped it out. The mottled reels really are head turners.
