Bache Brown Luxor and Airex BB Mastereels

[snoekjaeger]

Hi,

Trying to line-up the different models as I would like to collect them all :

- Bache Brown Luxor A : grooved lever, no oil port
- Bache Brown Luxor A2 : oil port/chrome handle
- Bache Brown Luxor A3 Standard :
- Bache Brown Luxor A3 Deluxe : with line-roller

- Airex Bache Brown Mastereel : no anti-rev. / 1pc handle
- Airex Bache Brown Mastereel 2 : built-in anti-rev./click
- Airex Bache Brown Mastereel 2A : Anti-rev./click
- Airex Bache Brown Mastereel 2B : fold. handle/forked
- Airex/Lionel Bache Brown Mastereel 3 : different handle
- Airex/Lionel Bache Brown Mastereel 4 : full bail/higher spool cup
- Airex/Lionel Bache Brown Mastereel/Aristocrat : like 4 but ?

A few questions :

1) any other models/types/variations I should look out for ?
PS : I am not looking for the Spinster or other models, just the Luxor and Mastereels

2) would the model 2B be found with and without the LIONEL mentioning (as the LIONEL take-over took place when this model was being made) ?

3) are any of the other models made with/without the LIONEL mentioning ?

4) when did the adress (mentioned on the spool) change from "Long Island City N.Y." to "Hillside N.Y"
