Anyone have any info on this reel? The only thing that DAM could tell me is that they are at least 40 years old. Any help will be useful.

I went after one of these MIB on ebay. I quit at $60 or so and it outpaced me. I think DAM collectors are next to only Mitchell collectors for loyalty to their marque.

Well I do appreciate the info I did receive, but I guess there really isn't much interest/info on this particular reel. Thanks again.

Thanks swimjig. Whenever you get the info it would be appreciated. By the way I'm a Jersey Shore fisherman, so I'm not familiar with Lake Erie. What's hitting right know? I'm waiting for the fall striper run.
