:lol: 8) :!: :idea: :type: Well one thig is known, it WAS NOT A INDIAN MOTER CYCLE GIVE AWAY! However owners of (INDIAN BIKES DO WANT THEM!) There were several reels with name like CHIEF, Niagra etc that were made as it apears by Montague, I have of 70 of these things,not any rarity , just fun items and conversation items. I have never seen a new in the boxed one, Phil or Harvy or others out there , anyone have one in the original box? Acording to Lawsons 3rd edition on price, from $12.00 to $50.00 8/8 ibox , they were 40 &60&80 yard reels, Hope this is of some help, and I do have some that are not of Montague make, look like knock offs! OK ORCA members jump on this we all need a UPDATE! Col. Milton Lorens aka SWIM JIG your OHIO CONNECTION
