Stopped in a local antique shop and saw these two little reels on a shelf. They were asking $7/ea, and I bought both for $12. Both are in good working order, but probably will make their way to my desk at work. 

 

The red color reel is a South Bend Perfectoreno model A, and the silver one is a Pflueger Akron No. 1893L.

 

Any info appreciated as I don't know much about these reels. 

Cool!

 

 

Nice find! Those will make great "man-cave" decor!

I can't resist picking up old reels when I find them at antique shops, flea markets, yard sales, etc. I'll clean them up and repair them, if needed, and parts are available. 
My wife always asks me why I need another old reel. I tell her it's better than spending my money on liquor and wild women.
