Pictures must be reversed. The handle is on the wrong side.

Awesome! They made some wonderful reels back then. And that was when $9.99 was worth something.

True, that was not a cheap reel. And their top of the line was a chunk of change in ‘55.

Tell us about the rod that you have paired it with, also.

Nice, thanks for sharing and the history lesson...

That is awesome, wish I had the stuff I had when I was a kid.

My dad has several of these. I don't think they're from the 50s, though. I think they're from the 60's.

Looks nice, thanks for sharing

The rod is an old fiberglass McGill Wright ultralight. Model number is unknown. It has been reconditioned and rewrapped. I'm looking for an Airex rod of the era to pair with these Airex reels. And a Garcia Conolon ultralight for the Mitchells. I've resisted going after vintage lures (although I have some) but who knows .... I do enjoy the lure history from "G" each Monday.

I’m thinking 60’s also. I have a couple.
