Old Reel Cases from Traveling Salesman

Post by Luredog »

Below are the pictures of 2 old leather cases that were built extremely well with heavy leather, all corners have metal guards - 3 heavy duty clasps to close tight the case - 8 total per case, the storage area fits 30 reels. These were built to be carryed by a sales rep and built very strong. The cases are marked and numbered - but a misspelled Heddon as Hedden is a bit funny as we have all done that and I am sure the salesman got a fair bit of rubbing his nose in it. I bought these from an estate and the uncle was a spotting's goods sales rep as I bought a lot of great items from the estate. I will have these in Pigeon Forge next week and if you are interested let me know. The Pflueger case shows a logo on the cover but it is faded from to many miles on the road. I have enjoyed these long enough and now it is time to pass them on to a real reel collector as you can carry your reels to shows in these or just display some reels in them as part of your collection. Truly a different type of collectible as I have not seen any other of these at shows other than these as I have brought them to several over the years. I am a lure head not a reel guy so hope these make someones day. Email me to discuss a sale or a trade - for lures that is..haha...

You'd think a "Sales Rep" could spell HEDDON
