Shakespeare Acme 1904 Question

Woody · Post by **Woody** » Tue Jul 06, 2004 10:40 am

I have rescued two of the above reels from a long slumber in a garage in Iowa. They are a mess, and the cleanup will be interesting. I need some help with one thing before I get carried away.

The chrome (?) on the left side plate - oppisite the handle - is very thin and worn off in places. Under the coating the metal looks grey - like pot metal. Is that what it is made of, or is it some other material?

Thanks for any help and advice.

The catalogue list it as "Nickle over Steel"
Hope this helps.

I also have one of the Shakespeare-ACME 1904 reels. The model # is FG. Would appreciate any info anyone might have on this reel. Also have a Shakespeare-Duece-1905. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
