always discovering new things in our passion to expand our search, every day is more difficult to find depending on models, but we must not lose esperadaza someday when you least expect it'll roll forward a model that will make you freak.
This is the beauty of this joby, making it increasingly interesting to search for lost jewelry, lost say that if we knew where they would not be lost, it is important that before buying a reel and it does not matter path where to buy it is to know if complete with original period pieces, if full price is when they are missing any parts is when you never know what can cost you the reel, as that piece is missing they ask more than worth the reel.
is a bit of advice that I give you as many messages you send me photos of reels that you buy as many are mounted with all parts of all times, be careful what you buy if instead of a reel it will have to use spare parts and asking prices is a shame to buy a roll imperfect.
Well colleagues, leaving aside the business of a few, in this study so interesting to see models of reels that marked the transition between the models color leg S, Bordeaux and the Blues.
This version of reels, we find it in the years 1953 to 1954, manufacturing tube a very short period, approximately less than a year, at first glance we would say that is the brother of the legs S color.
Looking in more detail we see something of the painted, the holes in the base coil Mod 46, the lever.
In front if not for the anti would think that is another model from the time of Bordeaux and Blues, all brass details, but one thing that gives it away completely and in plain view chiva us that it is not, glitter paint.
the S leg color are anodized not painted, and there is the question how they fit these reels if the color after the leg of S are anodized and we do not see a painted reel excluding Alevin 2 until the year 1985 -86.
Gradually she discovers all in the transition of the S Paw Paw color to S anodized was a period of the year in which I referred in that Sagarra Factory in those years is like the beginning says, changed the system Cuquillo cast to the injection system that will explain in my study of the importance of casting reels.
economic power was not really hard to make a renewal of the fabric of overnight, so they were changing the machines and molds little by little, to think that the molds that time were to assemble five models of reels, meanwhile produced in two versions of smelting, which is filling Cuquillo of handpicked with a shovel like a funnel, and by injection and is a more sophisticated system the faster you see when making reels, made several new molds ready to melt injection as the body, lid and a spool reel the other components coils, handles, cups, etc. Cuquillo still manufactured them to the old system, to be treated duralumin or metal of the two ways that you have mentioned, causes the parts anonizarlar not give an even color, no color was achieved said in a technical way.
When mounting the reels failed to match the color of the pieces looked like it was assembled from scraps of parts reels having a very different anodized colors, a very black and other color snuff ,
For the short time of manufacture and the small number that were mounted at the time, is a version hard to find, we'll see in the picture as accent pieces such as this body and I have proof of collector friends who have also found individual components such as a coil of Mod 47, a bowl of a Joint this time and painted black.
Seen by on the inside.
The same body as the leg S anodized
Well colleagues, I hope you enjoy these little times we spent together, and think that this version of reels are five models, models of this era Mod 46 / 2 - 47-51 - Super and Board.
Good luck the hunt for these gems, if anyone have or get one do not hesitate to send me some pictures, this model 46 / 2 of the report is of our dear friend and collector Ferran de Denia in Alicante.
Congratulations Ferran for this gem and this new state.
