About

REEL MUSEUM

Features
Read full description

REEL MUSEUM is an unofficial, fan-made museum & appraisal app for classic fishing reels. Centered on ABU's Ambassadeur and Cardinal families, it gathers the looks, eras, and rough second-hand price ranges of legendary reels — presented like a quiet night gallery you can browse at your own pace. ■ Collection Hall (the "dex") Browse classic reels as exhibit-plate cards. Tap any card to open a full detail sheet with its traits, history, price range, and year-and-color variants. Filter by shape (round / low-profile) or popularity, and search by model name or feature. ■ Year & color variants — 81 of them, across 26 models The same model can be a different reel depending on the year it left the factory or the color it was finished in. A 1972 Big-A 6500C, the brown 6500 built for only ten months, the 1989 Japan-only Black Special 2500C, the wine-red single-lot run of 1992 — each one is documented with what to look for, when it was made, and what it tends to sell for. Every entry is drawn from collector-community primary sources (ORCA/Fred Ribb material, realsreels.com, long-running Japanese collector archives, specialist dealers). Where the sources disagree, we say so instead of inventing an answer. ■ Appraisal Room (read the year) Enter a reel's foot number and the app estimates its production year from the stamp format. Because the numbering rules changed over the years, it never asserts a single answer — it shows candidates with a confidence level, and honestly flags uncertain cases. ■ AI Appraisal & digital certificate Snap your reel — or a photo from a marketplace listing — and AI estimates the model family. Adding a photo of the foot stamp improves accuracy. You can issue the result as a museum-style digital certificate to save or share. (AI provides identification hints; it does not guarantee authenticity or value.) ■ Put your own reel on display We're collecting real-reel photos for the dex, now down to the individual variant. Found the champagne-gold 5000D, or a genuine red-thumb-bar original? Send a photo and it becomes that variant's exhibit, credited "Photo by: your name." Contributors earn honorary titles, and each accepted photo grants an appraisal ticket. ■ Membership (free tier included) - Visitor (free): browse the dex + 3 AI appraisals total - Silver: 5 AI appraisals/month, detailed search, price deep-dive, collection value - Gold: 20 AI appraisals/month, all premium features - Platinum: 50 AI appraisals/month, appraisal by a higher-tier AI model ■ 14 languages, worldwide Available in 14 languages — share the same museum with enthusiasts around the world. ———————— This is an unofficial app not affiliated with any manufacturer.
