I have a neat old reel that I would like to share. On the side it has Wards Sport King. No 60-6310 Model 5c. On the other side it is marked Montgomery Ward Co. Chicago. I still have the original box it came in and it is marked Lakecast Anti-Inertia on outside of the box. The original paper work is in the box and it is titled Langley Corp. Lackcast Fishing Reels. Can any of you old fishing equipment buffs tell me what I have here. Just thought I would share this in these trying time's.

There's a lot of them out there...you can do a search....worth about 20-35 bucks.

Nice old reel. We use to call them "knuckle busters".....and for good reason! Unlike baitcasters of today, when these old reels were cast, the handles spun with the spool. Good chance of whacking your knuckles occasionally.
I have an old Pflueger "Silk Cast" of similar design. Not worth much I'm told, but nice piece of memorabilia from the distant past.

I have two old direct drives, a Zebco and a Pflueger and don't care what either are worth. Wouldn't sell them for any reasonable amount and unreasnoable start's at around $200K! Love my old reels, learned on the Zebco!
Great looking reel! Modern reels aren't going to have that sort of artwork. I've been fishing with my old Abu 5000 this week. Gotta love the old stuff!

Cool old reel, thanks for the pics.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
I inherited a few reels kinda like that paired with steel rods when my grandpa passed away. Not worth much but I wouldn’t take any amount for them.
Got some Mitchell 300 spinning reels too that were his. Used to fish with those years ago but not anymore.
