Shakespeare 2064/2065 SpinWonder Salesman Sample

[Midway Tommy D]

I'm looking for detailed photos, from all sides/angles, of a complete Shakespeare 2064/2065 SpinWonder Salesman Sample like the one that was displayed at the 2010 ORCA Nationals and pictured below on Dr. Todd's Blog: https://fishinghistory.blogspot.com/2010 ... yssey.html It was once Dennis McNulty's and "Mac" said he sold it a couple of years ago so he no longer has it or any photos of it. I'm hoping one of the Shakespeare collectors, or possibly someone else for that matter, might have a complete original reel, or photos of one, so that I could see what they looked like on all sides direct from the factory. I'm only looking for examples of the salesman sample reel, not the display. The crank shaft, knurled nut & mounting nut on reel in the photo, BTW, are not original to the reel. They should be aluminum, not black.

Bump!
Surely someone out there has one of these complete, or at least maybe some photos?

The 2065 and 2064 came with both aluminum and black handles / and screw down knurled ends to state as fact they were only aluminum is incorrect.

The 2068 came with the black handle shaft & black knurled knob. The 2064, 2065 & 2062 came with an aluminum handle shaft & aluminum knurled knob. If a 2064, 2065 or 2062 has a black shaft & knob it was most likely a replacement or from a 2068.

BTW, here's some photos of my 2065 Cutaway Salesman Sample that I guess I forgot to post:

2065 New in the box shallow spool notice the handle.

I have (2) 2065’s NIB with Black handles these have the correct arm and thumb portion that are not the same as the 2068 which I also have NIB

The 2062 and the 2068 share the same arm length and “shape” as one another but the 2065 and 2064 have a more offset arm and the collar where the handle meets the reel are entirely different compare the picture as this is evident.
