Introduced as a non-level wind reel .. Baitcasting.. the 1932 Akron features polished diamolite with green pyralin handles and jeweled tension oil cups. Then in 1935 a lightweight version 1893L was introduced. It featured polished diamolite with brown pyralin handles and jeweled tension oil cups. These was very little modification to the Akron 1893 from 1932 through the end of production some time after 1971.
