Meisselbach Leather Reel Bag ...

[reelsmith.]

This nice leather bag came along with an Okeh 630 box I recently picked up.

The faded area says "The Fishing Reel of Quality".

I'm no expert on Meisselbach ...but I try to pay attention ...and have never seen one of these before.

I'm assuming they were an accessory ?

If they came with reels I imagine I'd have seen one (or a lot) before.

What's the story on these ?

Thanks.

Dean.

From what I've read in Phil's book, they were only supplied with the "Flyer" model. I recently found one with a "Tripart" and I know those never came with a bag.

Interesting.

I had a Flyer once, with the box and papers ...but no bag.

Maybe I found it now.

Dean,

Beautiful bag, the faded part is one of the Meisselbach US Trademarks, one of the most handsome, is my opinion.
