Title: Tatler
Post by: Jerseymic on August 30, 2013, 10:15:21 PM
Hi everyone,

Sorry if some of you couldn't see the photos I posted previously, so here they are again, can any one please tell me what model Tatler I have here?

G'day Mike,
I believe it's a Grice and Young Supreme Model 2, which should be 4 1/2 inches in width.
I had five or six for a few years (including the Supreme 2 in narrow, standard and wide, all in gold, which made a nice array on the shelf), but recently sold the lot to a friend.
A bit of a rundown on the internals here:
Hope that's of some assistance.
All the best, Justin

Hi Justin,

Thank you for the information.

This one measures 3 1/8 inches to the outside of the side plates (2 1/4 inches inside)

I remember my father having an all gold Supreme back in about 1960.

I saw your post back in January, very nice. They were certainly well built reels.

Best wishes,

Mike.
