Arnold Kingpin colour finish question
Posted: Sun Jul 16, 2023 6:15 pm
I have had several Arnold Kingpin Reels over the years and still have a blue version carrying the name of Bob James.
However I have just acquired a series 2 (large round holes, series 1 had triangular large holes) which has a finish in several different colour shades
It seems to be a mixture of green only on the foot stem, grey, grey/green and a sort of pinky/lilac which thinly covers over some of the other shades.
I have never seen this before and wondered if it was supplied as a standard colour or a one off custom finish.
I did try and take a few photos but it was difficult to distinguish the various shades as they are fairly subtle.
Any thoughts please?
