#87How have I missed this wonderful thread?? Like many of you, I appreciate fly reels blessed with their original boxes and paperwork. It definitely adds to their value! Let's lead off with a 3" Young Pridex. Note the original price on the box...

#89Finally--for tonight--another attractive Young fly reel. A 3 1/4" Condex. Nice looking on bamboo even today.

#90Well, it's a new day. So here's a seldom seen reel, let alone with its original box. An all-aluminun H&I Sportcraft Lightweight #60. Lots of holes in the spool and frame isn't a new idea after all!

#93No idea. I bought it because of its condition. Hoagy also indicated that the Vom Hofe sticker on the inside flap of the case was a rarity in that it still remained. The reel is in beautiful original condition with bright black as night hard rubber side plates

#95There are plenty of very nice complete packages here, but surely someone out there must have an original Orvis CFO with a box. I've never seen one, perhaps they didn't come in a box? Reissues, sure, I've seen those boxes.

#96Here's a 3 3/8" Hardy Perfect with an unusual bronze line guard. A true classic on a bamboo rod or in its labeled box.

#98The holy grail - found!
Gulp.. that CFO makes me giddy.
Is there a hole dead in the middle of the foot ?
Very nice! All of them...
