The Newsletter of the Old Reel Collectors
Association, THE REEL NEWS is published six times a year in the odd
months. A Roster of ORCA members, their email addresses and collecting
interests is also supplied with the March "ORCA Annual".
Currently running 32 - 36 pages in length (the
Annual Issue is 48-52 pages long), THE REEL NEWS usually contains
specific articles about types of reels, makers, or other information of
historic value.
THE REEL NEWS features many outstanding regular
columnists and writers. Stu Lawson, Bob Miller, Ben Wright, Jim Madden, Col. Milton Lorens, Jim Schottenham, Steve Vernon,
Alan Baracco, and Phil White all add their expertise to the Reel News.
THE REEL NEWS also features member's letters, Book
Reviews of interest to reel collecting, notes from Recent Shows &
Auctions, a Collector's Calendar schedule of upcoming shows and
auctions, and each issue presents a manufacturer's exploded drawing of a
popular reel model.
We hope to give you the information you want...from
Ambassadeur casting reels to Zwarg fly reels...from the 19th century
giant Tarpon reels to those little clamp-on fly reels, we try to cover
it all in THE REEL NEWS.
