Vintage Chrome Baitcasting Fishing Reel | Classic Level Wind with Double Handle

Reel in a great piece of sporting history with this classic vintage baitcasting fishing reel. Featuring a traditional round profile, a double-knob black handle, and an exposed level wind mechanism, this unbranded reel is a staple of mid-century tackle boxes.

Over the years, the metal has developed a heavy, authentic patina, complete with beautiful green verdigris (oxidation) on the spool and inner pillars. It makes a fantastic display piece for a rustic cabin, a man cave, or a coastal home on the Kitsap Peninsula.

Condition

Grade: Rustic / Display Condition

Details: The chrome plating shows significant pitting, wear, and surface rust, alongside prominent green verdigris oxidation on the spool and crossbars. Because of this heavy weathering, it is best suited as a decorative nautical or sporting accent piece rather than for active fishing.

Measurements (Estimated)

Width: Approx. 4.0 to 5.0 inches (across the handles/spool)
