Mr. Reel Geezer Look what showed up in my mailbox

Had to show this to you, since you are the Meisselbach King. Was lucky with the reel, and now got lucky with the box. Can't be to many of these out there. Now, hope I can make the pictures come up. Larry

That's a nice set Larry. I had several people send me a photo of that box when it came up for sale on Joe's. I wondered who got it, and I'm glad to see it was an ORCA collector, rather than an investor. I am only aware of two of these boxes - yours and mine. There are probably more out there, but who knows.

For those that are not aware, the Meisselbach Elyria, OH factory records (in my possession) show that only 457 of these reels were ever sold.
