Excellent show considering the late organization date. 205 tables.
Here’s Jay White with two new additions to his big game reel collection.

Looks like BIG fun there!
It always amuses me that fine reels and Crown Royal bags go hand in hand. I know I have 5 or 6 CR bags in my collection too!

Looks like a lot of fun with a great bunch of guys. That show is on my "must attend" list post-retirement.
Wanted: Horton, Bristol & Meek reels, reel boxes, and catalogs!!!!

I was there when Jay purchased these reels and (true story) the seller told him “no charge for the Crown Royal bags.”

Great show indeed! I walked away with 5 new reels, 3 rods, and EVHGaff, and an awesome old round face glass
showcase. Also picked up a 1935 A+F catalogue, and Two early big game photos. Pics to follow soon. As for the Crown Royal bag, you have to see the silver over brass reel that was in the bag! Its a killer! Many Thanks to to Larry and crew for another great show!!!!
