Answer
Desarey,

Sports King is the fishing tackle line sold by Montgomery Wards. These were made by other tackle companies for Montgomery Ward, most likely Shakespeare or Bronson, etc.

These reels were low cost in their day and are fairly common today. They sell for $5-10, more if you have the original box.

PS do you have any old fishing lures...these are also collectable.
