Dam Spinnfix Spinning Reel No.225 w Box Bidding has ended

Up for bids is a Dam Spinnfix II Spinning Reel No. 225/II. The reel was made in West Germany which would place the date of the manufacture of this reel to between the mid-1940's to the the mid- 1980's. The reel appears to work very well....bail snaps properly and the clicker works properly. The box does show some edge wear, a piece of masking tape has been stuck to the box, and some loss of some of the box surface...more on the side then on the top. This is a very nice old reel and would make a great addition to any collection of vintage fishing reels. The box measures 5" x 5" x 3 1/2". The box has advertising for the Dam rods, Damyl fishing line, and Dam lures.
