The real Rogue Reel story... New exciting find! For Me....

Post by Z3BigDaddy »

They say even a blind dog can find a bone occasionally and I am that blind dog. Well I know a blind dog I should say. I have been collecting and seeking information on the Rogue Reel that was produced here in Southern Oregon for some years now. Link to a past posting: http://reeltalk.orcaonline.org/viewtopi ... ogue+reels A fellow collector of these reels, we are Rogue Reel obsessed to say the least, has come up with a pretty special find. Well special to me at least. He unearthed a plethora of paperwork including the original corporation papers and copies of the minutes of all board meetings from the beginning through 1969 shortly after Bert Parks, President of the corp, death. The minutes of the meetings clear up a lot of questions I had and created new ones. I will do an in depth post if anyone has interest, in the future when I sort everything out.
