Hey Mick this guy is nuts but he did say free shipping. Dominick
Yes you have to give him credit, free shipping!!
I don't know where some of these people get their prices from.
Mike.
I have to say that when I say this I thought "Hmm, nice restoration challenge" and the price :D
Amazingly, it has not yet sold ;D
Not sure what could be salvaged from that reel -- maybe the brass eccentric?
Everything else would need to be replaced.
This reel would make a good wall hanger if mounted on an old bamboo boat rod with dacron line -- in a seafood restaurant -- or an anchor.
But you never know with eBay...
Best,
Fred
Is this what they mean by PATINA? ;D
I've just got back from Cornwall and the pub down the road from where I was staying had the 6/0 twin to this 9/0 mounted on a rod of similar vintage hanging from the ceiling. The pub was called 'The Fisherman's Arms' - what else?
Sadly, the reel was mounted back-to-front so there was no fisherman on the staff!
