Sure, I have a Meisselbach 480 Takapart with a little brass showing. Patents read: "NOV 15 '04, JUNE 20 '05, MARCH 5 '07, AUG 3 '09.". Also, frame is printed "A.F. MEISSELBACH MFG. Co. Newark, N.J. U.S.A. 100 YDS." Head reads "Takapart No 480". $30.00. Would you like to see a picture, tomorrow?

I have 2 Tripart 580's I would part with as well as a Takapart 481. Not sure of values, but would be interested in selling. All in fair to good condition.

Walter,

Please let us know what book(s) you have or will write on reels. There are many members of ORCA here in America who I'm sure would love to buy copies.

Dear Dr. Todd,

please give me your adress and I will send you two of my books. One about stationary reels and one about casting reels.
But my books (I´ve written until now 22 books) are in German language.

Bye
Walter
