I dont know anything about the value but appreciate your showing it to us.
The shape of the reel is amazingly up to date for a reel made in the 40s.
45 bucks was a lot of money back then.
ALLEN W. JOHNSON - DRSS
Into my heart on air that kills From yon far country blows: What are those blue remembered hills, What spires, what farms are those? That is the land of lost content, I see it shining plain, The happy highways where I went And cannot come again.
