EDWARD VOM HOFE RESTIGOUCHE 423 4/0 PAT JULY 14 1896 Closing : Jun-12-08 18:40:00 PDTa CLICK HERE TO BID!

OFFERED IS AN EDWARD VOM HOFE MODEL 423 RESTIGOUCHE SIZE 4/0 WITH A PATENT DATE OF JULY 14 96 STAMPED ON THE CAP. MADE IN NEW YORK, THIS REEL IS MADE OF HARDRUBBER ( EBONITE) AND NICKEL SILVER. THE REEL HAS A TAPERED "S" HANDLE.

THE REEL HAS HARD RUBBER SIDE PLATES THAT HAVE NO CRACKS, DINGS AND ALSO 2 PAIRS OF LINE ROLLERS CROSSBARS. THE REEL IS ABOUT 3 7/8 INCH WIDE AND 2 1/8 INCH HIGH. IT HAS A 7 POSITION DRAG WITH BUTTOM THAT SLIDES ( FOR ON/ OFF PER MY HUSBAND). ALL 7 DRAG POSITIONS WORK ( AGAIN PER MY HUSBAND).

THERE ARE THE INITIALS " DBW" ON THE SIDE PLATE WHICH WOULD MAKE SENSE SINCE THESE REELS WERE CUSTOM ORDERED. THE BOTTOM OF THE REEL HAS THE FOLLOWING " 423" AND " 4-0". ON ANOTHER BAR IS "M308". THIS REEL LOOKS TO BE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. NEEDS A LITTLE CLEANING WHICH I DIDN'T WANT TO DO SINCE I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THESE REELS AND DIDN'T WANT TO "HURT" IT BY CLEANING.
