Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:27250572 | Brand: B.C. Milam |
| Vintage: Yes |
Neat old estate basement find all found and sold together. Items completely out of my area of expertise and wanted to sell as lot because of the case they were housed in...not sure if case was bought and rigged to hold these reels or is original and made for them. These have not been cleaned by me. Note 1 screw looks different. Did my best with research on these itemsThe small hendryx reel doesnt fit in any metal groove and note in last pic is missing a screw. The case measures near 11... x 7.5 x 4.25 and in total weighs 5 lbs 11oz. Note front handle has come detached (honestly likely dry rot) to one side as shown from age and case has minor basement smell and on the delicate side; the side handles attached well. Note theres a hairline crack on reel handle as shown...they click well like they should and gear works as intended when reels turned. Dont know material of box. Latch works well to open and close, no key. The grooves in box for reels are very specific to reel and they wont lock into any other one. Reel #3 serial #9145 & #4 is #8960. I wish i could’ve taken more pics. Please ask any questions if needed prior to bidding and will try to answer or send additional pics. Ive described any overt flaws ive seen aside from typical age related wear to the best of my (inexperienced with this item) ability.If case is found to be unoriginal and undesired let me know at checkout for less shipping charge. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail, packed well for journey. You receive all items exactly as shown with nothing more or less included and minus any props. I dont end auctions early. Thanks
