Vintage Keen Kaster Fly Fishing Reel | Ravenna Metal Products Seattle WA | Green Handles

Step into Pacific Northwest sporting history with this original vintage "Keen Kaster" fly fishing reel, manufactured by Ravenna Metal Products Co. out of Seattle, Washington.

Stenciled sharply around the faceplate are the official maker marks: "KEEN KASTER — RAVENNA METAL PROD. CO. SEATTLE" alongside "PAT. NO. 1866052" (dating back to the 1930s patent era).

This reel stands out with its striking twin apple-green (jadeite-style) composite swirl handle knobs and a six-slot ventilated aluminum faceplate that reveals vintage braided fishing line coiled beneath. It features a knurled brass center adjustment drag nut and a lightweight, durable cast aluminum body.

A highly sought-after piece for collectors of Seattle / Washington State manufacturing history, vintage angling tackle, or for styling in a rustic lodge or cabin display.
