What kind of reel? Spoked? Baitcast? Photo?

Kiest cans, as well as boxes, were sold in large quantities at recent auctions, dropping the prices slightly over the past few months. The cans were offered in a few different colors, and different colored labels as well. The older cans did not have a "rolled" lid, as the red can in this photo has. I've seen quite a few for sale since the big auction find, but complete package prices seem to be steady around $175 to $225 in excellent condition.

Hope that helps some!

Thanks for all the help with this Kiest reel

The Reel is forsale or trade

I am not into it for a great deal, so a reasonable cost will take it.
