VIN. ANTIQUE YAWMAN & ERBE FLY REEL 1891 DATED BOX Closing : May-29-08 10:00:00 PDT CLICK HERE TO BID!

Offering with No Reserve a Very nice reel that I know nothing about, I am not a Fishing collector. "Automatic-Combination Reel Style A. Aluminum". Original box. Patent dates on reel are Feb 28, of 1888, June 16th of 1891, on the clip on back-Patent is AUG 1.1899, AND 6759? on the inside. Measures APPROX.: 2-1/2" across the face and 1-1/4" thick,.Has a Wind-up handle on the side, with a little slide that says "FREE," under it "AUT." It winds easily, and the bar slides, and it spins easily.

The Box is very sturdy, but shows lots of wear. I have taken very close pictures that can also be enlarged for more detail. Looks like it needs cleaning, and will leave that to those who know how. I am not sure, but the dark areas inside feel like grease/oil?, and should clean up nicely.
Thanks for Looking, and if you have Any questions please ask. I will try my best to answer. I will also be listing an Ambassadeur, and a few others from the same Estate.
