What a nice surprise....

Sal, that is too cool, those guides are awesome.  Interesting how the go on the side of the blank rather than on top of it.  Thanks for sharing the picture.

Huh, on the side

Sal, those are awesome!!! I have a Harnell 130 that I've been in the process of rewrapping for about 7 years that has the Mildrums; I was thinking of going Aftco but will probably keep the Mildrum's on it. it was in rough shape or I'd have left it alone, but I think I paid $75 for it so can't go wrong. If you recall a couple weeks back I asked you about the Fenwick 80 reel seat. Mine looks like a weird hybrid of #6 and #7: Bigfoot Aftco's but with the EVA butt and aluminum Fenwick seat. I'm gonna try to figure out how to post pics this weekend. I love the old Fenwick stuff but it's pretty rare down here; I grab it when I see it. Also have several of the original Senator rods; good parking spots for 113's.

On the big Fenwick's it looks like the guides actually attach on the side of the blanks...interesting.

Edit:  After seeing Thorhammers post I looked up the Mildrum roller guides pretty darn cool.

Dan, the Mildrums are unique in this design AFAIK. Certainly not a Wintrop but the fit and finish for the period is pretty good; the Harnell had seen plenty of use but the Mildrums dont have a spec of corrosion.
