Anybody know anything about these early abu reels .I was given it a couple of months ago by an old timer that was moving house and was going to chuck it out.

The 1500C was made in Sweden from 1951 onwards till the last Record was manufactured in the early seventies, post 1951 all Record models from 1500 to 1800 were designated as Model C. A riveted cage to side plate manufacture made this model inexpensive to produce and it became one of Abus best selling reels at the time.
I have been collecting antique fishing gear for 20 years and have found several of these particular reels. Cheers Mike.
