It was donated to us by one of our lifetime members. He received it from his father-in-law. It looks to be in pretty good shape. We would like to donate it to The Bass Pro Shops where it would be mounted on a wall for everyone to enjoy. However, I would like to find out a little more before we donate it. Can you help us out? If you email me at psasur@verizon.net i'll send you some pictures. Thank you in advance for your help.

I grew up in the 60's with an attic filled with boxes of unused whirlaway parts to explore. Also many boxes of "spin-champ" parts. Was there any other reel that had the line come off the end before the whirlaway?Kennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06751766224986316671noreply@blogger.com
