		<description>Please tell other collectors of a stolen Meek &amp; Sons reel. 

RARE OVERSIZED MEEK &amp; SONS #5 REEL
STOLEN AT FATC DAYTONA SHOW

A very rare oversized Meek &amp; Sons #5 reel was stolen at the Daytona Beach Show of the Florida Antique Tackle Collectors Club.
I am asking all tackle collectors to spread the word about the stolen reel to prevent the thief from selling it to an unsuspecting collector.  The reel is valuable and the theft is a felony under Florida law.  I intend to spread the word to collectors for as long as necessary to catch the thief and have the reel returned to me.
If you have seen this reel, please contact Norman Pinardi, njpinardi@aol.com  (941) 792-1671, or cell phone (941) 704-6265, and let him know who has it.  
The reel has been restored, and it has a new counterbalanced handle and ivory grip.  The handle is made of softer nickel silver and will bend with any pressure.
RETURN THE REEL WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED, TO:
