ANNIVERSARY A50 Shake/Kalamazoo "Engraved" Trade Reel

Post by scottorock »

Picked this up recently, thought I'd share. Never seen this reel marked this way before. Same stamped design as the Kalamazoo Challenger (same crank as the Challanger as well) and the MW's Model 5 B and C.

Nice find Scott. I have never seen that reel either. Looks like it will clean up well too.

Nice find. It's a George Worthington trade reel, I did an article on them in The Reel News several years back. Email me if you don't have a copy.

Thanks, William!
Ha Ha! No, this wont be another "blue knobbed Rocket"! Ive sold many reels that Ill probably never see again. This Anniversary is no exception. That "blue knobbed Rocket" bugged me the second I put the shipping label on the box. Which is why I posted looking for comments. Then it bugged me even more! Im happy with the price the Anniversary sold for and I hope the new owner enjoys her as much as I have in the limited time Ive had her. Ya cant keep em all! "Catch and Release" is sometimes the way to go.

Top of the Morning Teal,

I'm trying to find your article on the Anniversary A50 reel as well. I found one of these reels and I'm including it into a shadow box and would love to be able to tell family and friends that see it more about that reel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
