Customers would buy parts for their fishing reels and then ask Mr. Favaro, Sr., to attach them. "He just developed from that...he was doing it as a hobby to start off with and it just developed into a business." Today, Sam and Bill Favaro, masters at the repair and renewal of rods and reels, follow in their daddy's footsteps extending the legacy of the family business into its ninth decade. Repeat customers include second-, third-, even fourth-generation family members. "White, Black, whatever, they keep coming back," Mr. Sam Favaro explains. Collection is open for research.
