ABU Tournament Caster

Whilst I should be very happy to have MIB Record Ambassadeur 5000 and 6000 in my display, I guess the only way a Record 5000 Black or Green Ambassadeur or 5500 CDL BASS or 5500 G will realistically come to this collection would be by a very greatfully acknowledged  donation or bequeath as their value (purchase) of these reels is beyond the means of most. Maybe this may happen one day.

ABU Catalogs  Wanted

 I am always looking for a 1948  and 1951   Napp och Nytt

I have very many Tight Lines that are missing from my collection also viz earlier than and including 56, 57, 58, 60, 63, 

As well as English and Swedish, I have collected a single ABU catalog printed in/for  Japanese, Norwegen, Danish, German, Finnish, Ireland and Belgium/Netherlands so  a single copy of any other country from any year would be very much appreciated to help create yet another webpage showing the World penetration of the ABU name. particularly looking for Spanish, French, Polish, Russian, Italian.

Are there any others?

I also need any of these ABU News booklets other than this 1976 example

 

 

 Do write if you have anything  of possible interest to me and we may strike a deal!

This list will no doubt extend but hopefully be reduced but generally change over time.
