REEL #5  1946-1947


    This reel, Version 3B, is mint. I bought it from a well known American collector who bought it from a well known European collector and it would be hard to imagine one in better shape anywhere. So far as I know, the only difference between this and the previous reel is the addition of the sliding anti-reverse button.

     or another example...this next reel is not mint but it's not bad either, and it's the oldest version I own with an original box. It's also the oldest version of which I own multiple copies (eight, I think) in various kinds of shape.
