Rare Oliver M-300 Reel

Starting Bid :$9.99
Bids : 1
Winning Bid :$167.50


Description:
A very scarce reel produced by James E. Oliver, a Missouri native who moved to Daytona Beach, Florida in 1934. This model M300 was the predecessor to the also scarce Oliver "Flying Saucer" style Striper reel. With a 6" diameter, this all aluminum trolling reel had a very short production run while Oliver worked out of his small shop on Charles Street in South Daytona Beach, Florida. A patent was applied for in 1951 under the Florida Reel Co. for the M300 reel. An excellent condition example with one small mounting hole in the foot. A scarce reel for any advanced Florida collection or unusual reel collection. (History of the Oliver reel found in the Reel News, an ORCA publication, volume 3, issue 1, 1993)

I think This is a great buy for a lovely reel.
