This is a spool for an Airex Bache Brown Mastereel spinning reel. I believe it is for a Model 4. The following info is printed on the label on the top side of the spool:
Spool No. 813
Airex Division of the Lionel Corporation
The diameter of the upper flange of the spool is approximately 1 15/16". The diameter of the lower flange of the spool is approximately 2 1/8". The diameter of the hole is approximately 1/2". The height of the spool is approximately 13/16".
The condition is very good with just some light corrosion on the hub of the spool.
This spool will fit all model 3 and 4 Mastereel's, all of the Spinster reel's, the Astra and the Vagabond as well. Several of the models did not come out with the face plate on their spools, but they will inter-change. It will also fit on the Standard model, however that reel had a face plate that was marked Standard, so to be fully correct you'd want that spool for that reel. I hope this helps. Remember; Bache Brown and Airex were the FIRST to introduce and produce spinning reels in America.
i appreciate that this thread has grown long in the tooth, but is this spool still available? i recently lost an uncle thus gained a ton of old and antique outdoorsmans gear, among them a mastereel this will fit on!!
I highly doubt it is still available. If you can wait a couple days, I have many Airex parts tucked away in storage. Among them should be a Mastereel spool.
