Bored sitting in my hotel room i was searching CL and came across 2 reels a guy is selling. One he says is a "Manhattan" special the other one is an "all coast" he said both are old but still NIB he wants $30 each.

 

Good deals? never heard of them before figured some one here might know more I was hoping for an Abu thats what the all coast looked like in the blurry pic but its not they are both Bait casters by the way.

Baitcasters or knucklebusters?

One looks like it's an antique and the other looks like a Penn reel.

I been collecting the antique bait casting reels along with there steel rods.

Ocean City Black Diamond All Coast, can't tell what the fresh water bait casting is from the photo. Looks a little rusted.

Too much $$$

The one on the left looks like my Bronson.  It may be rusty or it may be showing where the chrome has worn away from the brass. Fishing it is a fun and challenging way to appreciate the superiority of modern gear, but even if it were actually NIB it wouldn't be worth that much.
