Hello All and Thank you for allowing me to Join. Paul Manuel suggested I take a look at ORCA and I am so glad he did. Here are a few of the reels which make up my collection.

Welcome, spinner. Those are some great reels. I particularly like your centerpin reels with the Nottingham stamping.

Welcome! Those Doppers are beautiful! That art deco styling is really unique to those reels. I've always thought they were cool! That's a nice Altex, too. :cool
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

These are interesting and quite a variety. Tell me about image 11. That reminds me of one we have. I call it "the pencil sharpener".

Hello Bettybarr. I think the one you are referring to is marked Hel-i-Caster, I believe it was made in US.

I do have quite a selection BettyBarr, you are correct, but these just make up less than 1/10th of my collection. Hope you all enjoyed them anyway.....

Hello Stef, counting down from top, image 20, I think you mean "The Penguin" it is a starback 4", compliments many other centrepins I own including the Harry Reynolds 4.5"
