My girlfriends dad collects fishing equipment (all kinds antique and junk), and this morning he showed me a Sears Levelwind reel. It almost looks like an old penn levelwind reel but its shaped in a tear drop. It looked ancient, anyone ever heard of one? It was black, had a star drag, and a bait clicker. I was unaware that sears made fishing reels.

Sears made a lot of reels.Under the Sears name,Ted Williams and I think j.c Higgins were theirs too.Nothing noteworthy I can think of,but good beaters.

Ya never know though. They might have some type of value. Makes for good conversation pieces next to the lamp on the stand though... rollo
