I'm a "Happy Camper" today!

[Bill Sonnett]

Yesterday I received a package that contained a reel box that I didn't think I would ever find. It is the maroon "chimney style" Supreme box from 1924. It will go along just fine with my reel pictured here, a 1924 model Pflueger Supreme with the square line guide.

Great box Bill! That looks like one that I NEED for my collection. Since you've always sold or traded things to me that I really needed for my collection I sure hope that practice continues with this box!!

Your Pal Warren.

I'll take your 5 best Talbots in trade?

[Ron Mc]

[Chad S]

Congrats its the little things in life that mean the most!

Warren would just drop the reel and eventually burn the box for a shore lunch, so best keep that one.

[Robin Sayler]

Great Box!

Super find! Great combination. Old Supreme comes home after 93 years!

Bob that reel came in a leather bag that I was not familiar with, but later I've seen it with the earlier round bodied Supremes. I was thinking that the only thing needed to make it a complete package would be the box papers. Robyn Sayler emailed me that he had an extra copy showing the square line guide and he was sending me one to complete the set. Fellow collectors can be incredibly thoughtful---makes a fellow happy he is in such a hobby.

Well deserved finds, Bill! Karma does work its way around.

Congrats, Bill!!!
