Salesman Sample REELS

These images were kindly supplied by my friend Wolfgang in Germany.

Woffe says ......

" These are the reels i have . The 5000 is not the only one i have seen . The other one is owned by a friend of mine and this reel too has been cut in exactly the same way ! I have no doubt that it has been made by one man ( in Sweden at the ABU-factory ) ! So i am sure that these are originals !  "

He has a very extensive ABU collection, especially spinning reels and some fine cutaway/Salesman examples shown here.

It is known that ABU made cutaways in very limited numbers for the Ambassadeur, Abumatic, 500 series and Spinning reels.

I have never seen a cutaway Record Casting, Fly, Pimpel, Mooching or IGFA reel.

If anyone has others to share here or perhaps one to sell please contact me here.
