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.
