Recently picked up two Berkley spinning reels, both in individual brown plastic totes with spare spool and line. One is a number 808 and the other is an 830, both are possibly saltwater reels. Anyone have any info or background? thanks in advance, Bryce

They were made in Japan & distributed in the late 1960s & early '70s.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
