Old ABU Ambassadeur 5000 Reel

[JamieOsage]

I inherit an Ambassador 5000 reel from my grandfather and there’s no serial number on the foot and it’s a 3 screw in awesome condition not a scratch on it it’s attached to a Lew Childres Speed stick tournament addition the length is 5.5 and that’s all I know I was wondering what year it’s from and what’s it worth if anything

As far as I can tell, there are 2 choices for no serial or frame number - the frame may be a replacement part, or if the reel was delivered that way, it should mean you have one of the first 50,000 reels beginning with 1954 introduction - it should also say Record on the tailplate, and possibly, Model SG.
