Early walnut fishing reel

Click photo for larger images
Dating to around 1920, this impressive walnut reel measures 5 1/2" in diameter, and likely to have been used for salmon or sea fishing. The brass back frame is very unusual as the shape falls between a spineback and a truncated starback, look at the photos and see what you think! In excellent condition all round, spins freely no wobble, and incorporates a strong optional check. Unsigned and still retains what may be the original line.

This is a classic starback reel incorporating a Slaters catch and brass line guard. Measuring 4" in diameter, the drum inner flange is brass, and I think the wood is oak. This is a really eyecatching reel in very good condition, and has an optional check. Not sure of the date but would estimate around 1930's. Unsigned.
