Beautiful condition for its age.
We are selling in the condition that we received it.
It has not been cleaned or polished by us.
This tiny 1 3/4" diameter, 1 3/8" wide spool reel is
unique.
Serial number #1325 is clearly stamped on the
bottom of the unaltered foot and the early slender
curved
counterbalanced crank along with a sculptured
front mounted click switch accentuate the eye
appeal of this early
example.
Finely knurled removable end caps and an ivory
grasp round out this outstanding hand crafted reel.
Comes with leather case (see photos for condition).

1) Question: Does the bone handle have more than one crack? is there a chip out of the handle near the screw that attaches the handle? I could not make it our in the pictures. Thanks.
- Answer: The ivory on the handle does have two stress lines appearing to be completely natural and seeming to have been there for years, also seeming to not be in danger of spitting or cracking, and appearing to never have been repaired. The screw attaching the handle to the reel (middle screw) does have marks from a screw driver twisting in the screw. Hope this information helps. Feel free to contact with any other questions. Thanks. CBP

I should mention that the screwdriver marks on the screws are in fact visible to the naked eye, but only on very close inspection. I viewed the screws under a lighted magnifier to detect any marks. In all, four of the screws could be considered to have marks, either from actual use of the reel, or a screwdriver (please see photos).
On Jul-23-12 at 20:57:13 PDT, seller added the following information:
- Answer: Correct, the inside of spool is 1 3/8" wide (same width as spool bars). The total outside dimension (width) of reel which includes end caps is: 1 13/16" . Diameter of reel is 1 3/4" (measuring across the round end caps - i.e., round end cap handle is attached to).
