Wanted-Old Sidecast Fishing Reels

[Da-Jew-Man]

Hi, I am the collector/historian of old side cast fishing reels.
I am always looking for any old, unusual side cast reels that have no branded name or have a name that is not well known.
You may not be aware that there were quite a few other side cast reels other than Alvey.
No problems if they are damaged as they are still of interest
Happy to pay good money for any unusual reels.

Still looking for any old reels

I'd try doing a search using the keywords "antique" "vintage" "fishing reels" and look through eBay and gumtree plus whatever else a google search returns you. Personally I've seen hundreds of old reels go through swap meets like the local (for me) Rocky Swap. You'd probably need to know what you're looking for but the prices I generally saw on the vintage reels (mostly Alveys) was 5-10$ a pop.
Hope this helps,
John
