Genuine vintage Alvey 365 A1 sidecast fishing reel, featuring the classic Alvey sidecast design and original brown Bakelite-style spool.
The reel carries the Charles Alvey & Son – Brisbane markings and retains its original components, making it an excellent piece of Australian fishing history for collectors, vintage tackle enthusiasts or anyone looking for an authentic old-school Alvey reel.
Used vintage condition with significant age-related wear and patina. The reel displays scratches, marks, tarnishing and extensive surface oxidation to the metal components, consistent with its age and previous use. The Bakelite-style spool/body also shows cosmetic wear and ageing.
The reel has not been professionally serviced or restored. The existing fishing line is old and should be replaced before use.
