I collect vintage Kingfisher fishing line spools (yes, there are collectors for everything.) I would pay $10 plus shipping for an empty tin of Butera Kingfisher in decent shape just to put in the display case. Thanks.

Pete-- that's very kind of you. I will at least PayPal you postage. I will message you my mailing address.

In the meantime, here is a link to photos of my Kingfisher line spool collection from the early 1900's that I posted on Reel Talk on the Old Reel Collector's Association (ORCA)'s website. I founded the club in 1989 and we have some 800 members in a dozen countries.

I don't know anything about collecting fishing line spools but I can see right away why someone would be attracted to collecting such a thing. The art work and nostalgia it produces is captivating. Thanks for sharing!

My group of college friends had a can collector, American Beer or some nonsense, He sold it for six figures recently. It might be just a rumor as nobody seems to know for sure and doesn't want to ask. You just never know these days.
