Found This Reel On E-Bay

Post by Jonathan P. Kring »

Kind of interesting, probably low value, different. Silver Ship Fly Reel by Oriental Reels.

Cool reel! Is it a fly reel or an Alvey-style spinning reel? It looks like it pivots on the base for casting.

As far as I know it's a Fly Reel?? That's how it was listed. Looks like a fly reel to me, but I am certainly not an expert.

Looks to me like it pivots for casting. As shown it is in the wind-in position. Rotate the spool and it casts like an open faced spinning reel.
