Lawrence sunbeam

Question
Robert
I have recently inherited a Lawrence "sunbeam" single action fly reel Model No. 150-R. I cannot locate any information on the reel or the Manufacturer.  It is in the original box and list MFg as Lawrence Tackle Mfg CO. 280 Fifth Ave, New York.  Was wondering if you could help.

Answer
hello

I believe this is a lower quality post WWII reel, I have seen them for sale in the $10 range, yours would bring a little more with the box.

Note: early high quality fly reels generate the most interest and value (Meek, Von Hofe, Orvis, Hardy, etc).

You can get better history posting a question at this site:

On the right hand side you will see a link called "reel talk" where you can post messages, search etc.
