FatAl's CFO Collection is up for auction!

[Woolly Bugger]

I'm helping Al and his family by auctioning off his Orvis CFO reels,

First up is the circa 1972 Orvis CFO II with spare spool, in original dual compartment leather case.

VERY MINTY!!!

This is a gem!  All the CFOs should sell like hot cakes – beats the heck out of those newfangled Buck Rogers big arbor reels.  Would be interested but I have multiple IIs – and just got an old IV last winter.

Good luck to Al, but he won't need it.

Mudflap, I've got some IIIs that are just as nice...

The old CFOs are one of the few products that Orvis sold/made that I truly appreciate.  I have given up on all other reels – got rid of all my Ross reels except one.  I have all my CFOs, and extra spools, cataloged.  I can't recall offhand how many I have.  I do know I have Is, IIs, 123s, IIIs, and the recently acquired IV; all are spring and pawl, except one disc.  The earliest model is a '75 III.

I wish I had a thousand or two; I'd buy all Al had.  One of you clowns best jump on these!

I wish.  Got a new 'glass rod that's itching fora proper reel pairing.

Is there an spare spool for a Battenkill mid-arbor V mixed in, in FatAls collection of Orvis CFOs?
