ANCIEN MOULINET
OCEAN CITY, FORTESCUE, Lake City
des années 30/40

This auction is for a Fortescue free spool casting reel.

It came from an estate sale, I think it is quite old. It is marked “FORTESCUE – FREE SPOOL – OCEAN CITY MFG. CO. – PHILA.”.

It appears to be in good working order but does need to be cleaned, being sold as found. The wood knob on the crank handle has white paint spilled on it. It is marked 250 on the base plate. On the side opposite the crank there are the remnants of a label that has numbers and colors; there also is the remnant of some other material, not sure if it is original or something that was added.
