J. A. Coxe Reel Oil Bottle

Post by orourke »

Did any of you catch the J. A. Coxe Reel Oil Bottle that sold on ebay yesterday? $53.75 plus shipping. I still need one. I guess I just want one. The guy that paid 50 bucks for the little bottle NEEDED one.

Happy New Year!

:) 8) :?: :idea: :type: If you will cal or write MIKE WOHLEVER 48150 North ridge road, Amherst Ohio 44001 call 1-440-988-9264 ask him for one of these bottles, tell Mike that Milt said to look good or have Jim look as he always has 100s of oil bottes for different reels and price is right , I bought 32 pfluger, Shakesper etc off him and had change left, they go from $2.00 up but not much up! Mike is a member of ORCA and NFLCC, he will be going to Pigoen forge show that is comming up in Jan. so get ahold of him beforth the 7 of jan or after th 15th of jan. Your ohio conection Col. M.

That guy that bought it was Steve Linkus. He has a fablous collection of oilers, bottles and inscet repellent. Contact him, Dave, he might have an extra. Tell him I sent you. That way he will charge you double! :lol:

Thanks for nothing Harvey. I think I'll follow Milt's suggestion. Haven't got the Christmas bills yet. I'm sure Rhonda spent a small fortune on our three year old.

Thank you guys!

Yes, Milt, they had B-B guns them days. My first one was a Daisy pump-up air rifle. My grandpa took it away the first day when I shot the cat in the rear end. My rear end hurt more then the cat's when my grandpa got finished with me. Here's hoping you and Ryan have a very good year and yes, it was great spending time with you in Lansing.. Hope to see ya again soon.

Milt, I talked with Mike Wohlever. Unfortunately he didn't have any Coxe or Bronson Reel oil bottles. Sounds like he is going to have one whale of a show in April though. Told me he would personally fill over 80 tables. Heck of a nice guy. I think I'll be headed to Ohio in April. Should be less than three hours away.

Thanks again for the scoop Milt. While he didn't have the oil bottles I did have a great phone conversation with Mike and made a new friend. God I love this club! :D
