F/S Heddon & Castomatic reels- exceptionally nice!
I have them posted at my ETSY shop with all the details, more pics, and an interesting “story” about “Chief Do-Wa-Giac”, too! Link is below. You can purchase there as a guest with a credit card, or just email me and we’ll do it that way. I’m hoping my prices are OK?
I have a bunch of other reels listed at ETSY, too. Thanks for taking a look!
Heddon “Chief Do-Wa-Giac Snarl-Free No.4”.
This is one beautiful, top quality reel sold by Heddon! Name is stamped on back plate “Chief Do-Wa-Giac Snarl-Free No.4”. Also stamped there is “James Heddon’s Sons, Dowagiac Mich” at the bottom. This is not a common reel, especially in this fine condition. It’s the only one I found that has that black spacer! Made for Heddon by Shakespeare, circa 1935. You can see and feel Shakespeare's quality!
"Snarl-free", eh? Give me a couple casts with it- I bet I could put a snarl in the line!
$74 + 6
“Castomatic” Quaker City Gear Works (Phil, PA)
First one of these I’ve ever seen! Made by Quaker City Gear Works (Phil, PA) 1950-60. by their Outdoor Products Division (Outdoorsman) and marked as the “Castomatic”. I think I got that straight!
A finely made little baitcaster with just the features you need! LW, click, and adjustable spool tension end cap! Good looking little reel, too!
$26 + 6
