Wanted- Old Sidecast Fishing Reels

[Da-Jew-Man]

Hello,
I collect and research the history of Old Sidecast Fishing Reels and have done so for many years.
If you happen to have any that you may wish to turn onto cash or happen to have some knowledge of them then I would like to hear form you. The maker,when, where etc.
I look for the unusual styles or names that you may never of heard of.
Thanks David

David, I saw this in some junk email from the Reverse Garbage shop at the Gabba...

" Antique Fishing Reels – Alvey brand – some brass and timber – from $5 each"


I have not seen what they have so I cannot comment but it may be of interest to you.


This describes their business...

"Reverse Garbage is a worker-run co-operative that collects unwanted discards from industry and businesses, diverting these high quality materials from landfill to make them available at low cost to the community. We currently pick up materials from more than 300 suppliers around Brisbane. With a truckload of materials coming in most weekdays, there's always something new and interesting in the warehouse to check out. We divert around two tonnes of materials from landfill every week.

Reverse Garbage is located at 20 Burke Street, Woolloongabba. Our phone number is 07 3891 9744 and e-mail info@reversegarbage.com.au "

A mate just asked me if I know anyone who would want to buy his alveys. He has about nine from small to deck winch all in good order. There is an alvey collector on the web somewhere, not sure if it was you?

Hi Dave, if you check out the Classifieds you'll see I've posted a couple of extremely cute little Alveys for sale. You could make me an offer. Steve.

Hi Steve,

Hi, Thanks for post the photo.
Unbranded reel , made by J W Day in Brisbane late 40's.
You will see other branded reels such as Lanmor, Topnotch, Moreton Bay and others with the same design.
Made in 3, 3 1/2 , 4 1/2 and 5 inch sizes.
Hope this helps.

Not worth a lot of money because of no brand.
Better to give a clean and display.
