H-I Sportcraft. (60 and 100 size)

I apologize for not bring this reel up before - it's a really fine little click-pawl reel that can be had for a song.

I'll get some photos up.

In the meantime, here's one on ebay.

Note, however, contrary to her opinions, this reel has been used quite a bit - it used to have a black vinyl enamel over the whole reel - that is not gray enamel on hers, it's the patina of the lead-primer that was under the paint.

That H-I Sportcraft is a really cool looking reel. Please post a few photographs of those in your collection when you get a chance.

Here is the H-I Sportcraft.

No wonder it's such a great little reel - it's a minature Shakespeare Russell.

here's the 3-1/2" version of the sportcraft, in near-mint condition and marked as a Holvac Hold-Em
you can buy a sportcraft all day long for $5 to $10 (these are great reels to fish, guys)
this example shows you what collector interest does to the value.
