Zero hour bomb company
Picked up a couple of reels at garage sale . Anyone familiar with these? I looked them up and a pretty cool history. Was wondering the value.
Thought about posting in rod and reel forum but that looked like new stuff.

Yep Zebco, bought two. One was red spool and the other beige . The first run was black in 49, From what I understand it's the first run of zebco first reel. Red was next it was about 51 or 52 . The beige was third in 53, 54. All the reels are the same except for the colors of the spools. From what I understand stopped putting zero hour bomb company on reel mount after 54.
One is in real good shape (red spool) and other ok shape. Wish I had some boxes for them.
If any one has any early zebco stuff they want to sell let me know I might be interested.
