[cool][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]That quote was for factory workers not the minimum wage. Depending on what source one can rely on the average factory worker makes $27.00 per hour today. Not sure if that includes benefits. It certainly didn't in 1946. So if it took about 6½ hrs pay to purchase that reel in 46 how about $175.5 [/size][/green][/font][font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]in today's dollars. Oh yea & plus tax. Duh! That is about what I paid for my Orvis CFO III fly reel.[/size][/green][/font]
