Museum Archive: Vintage Other Ocean city reel 1591, fishing #19690

Deep brown side plates define the profile of this 1950s Philadelphia-made Ocean City 1591. Featuring a distinctive cork arbor on the spool to manage line capacity, the reel represents a classic era of American baitcasting design. The polished chrome-plated frame houses a level wind mechanism and a double-knob handle with cream-colored grips. This specimen, assigned product code 19690, carries a 4/5 condition rating, appearing remarkably clean with well-preserved mechanical components. A knurled tension knob and clicker switch on the side plate provide the tactile feedback collectors appreciate. The level wind guide remains properly aligned within the sturdy metal housing.
