Hi Everyone,
Here is an unusual reel. Matches up well to my Shakespeare Kazoo skeleton reel, except for the other half of it
The handle grasps are small and seem well-paired with this reel. I thought I read about a reel like this in Richard's book, but couldn't find it after browsing through the book again. Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks,
George

Hi George,
This reel has come up before:
Shakespeare Skeleton
I took a look at the 1936 catalog from the ORCA Library and didn't see it, so maybe Robyn or Len can chime in and expand a bit.

No luck in the 1936 catalog and Len wasn't sure where to find it. Anyone know?
Cheers,

From the 1936 catalog, hiding in plain sight:

LOL! Thanks Mark. I have the '36 dealer catalog but must have missed it.

Apparently, it's not in the Dealer catalog (#36-D).
