Billinghurst reel new acquisition

Post by Pappy24 »

Just got this Billinghurst fly reel. Trying to figure out if it is brass or silver model. Also an idea of value. Thanks.

You're a lucky Pappy! We need to see some good photos before we can say much about it.

My pics did not load. Most likely operator error. Will try again. Site says my files are too big.

Pappy,
Once you upload them you have to insert them into your post. Your choices are the regular (full) size photo or an enlargeable thumbnail. The preference is the enlargeable thumbnail as it save space in the post. You can also choose the location in the post where you want the pictures to be displayed.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Finally got the new pics of Billinghurst. Trying to figure out what material it's made of. Read some history looks like there where a few nickle and some coin silver models. Thank you for any info/value. Regards
