South Bend Antique Reel Resto

I seem to be on a fishing theme lately. I have found a really good East Texas seller on Ebay who is downsizing his collection and have been buying reels and knives off of him lately. I have landed some excellent collector deals! This old South Bend reel does present a challenge since it does have surface rust. I have plans to really clean this one up and use in the field! Nice find at $3!
