BEAUTIFUL ROSEWOOD AND BRASS
ROBERTSON - MAKER - GLASGOW
NOTTINGHAM STYLE SALMON REEL

Offered for your consideration:

Wonderful old Scottish salmon reel marked:

ROBERTSON
MAKER
GLASGOW

This nice old Scottish salmon reel measures 4 inches in diameter and is made
of rosewood and brass. Examples like this are very hard to find.

The reel is in great aesthetic condition with some light wear on the back plate and
one tight check on the front side-plate near a screw. The reels operation is a bit stiff
as is the case with many of the older wood and brass fly reels.

A wonderful, early example of the reel makers art! Rosewood salmon reels
don't come up for sale very often so don't miss this opportunity to
add this lovely vintage fly reel to your collection.

MEPPS

SUPER MECA

Here's a wonderful circa 1958 spinning reel made by MEPPS in France. More well known for their spinning lures, Mepps manufactured a few reels as well. This one is for a lefty, like me, and as you know left hand models are tough to come by! Other unusual features are the folding foot, anti-reverse lever on the back of the spool housing, replacable pre-wound spools, and unique chain bail pull. The reel serial number is #010023. It also is equipped with a fold in handle, and automatic full bail. It is in "SUPER MECA" working condition! There is some paint flaking off the foot and a few other places that one might expect from a reel of this age. Still, all in all a nice example of a SCARCE LEFT HAND MODEL!!!! Reel weight just under one pound.

vintage Penn Senator 16/0 reel & antique big game rod Bidding has ended

Up for auction is a rare rod and reel combo. Along with rod and reel I have the reel box and catalogs and fighting harness. This is an awesome collection that I have taken to shows to display but lately it has been sitting in my downstairs. It is too special not to be on display.

The reel is a Penn Senator 16/0 #118. The info I could gather is based off the handle and box, etc. I’m guessing the reel is from later 1940s to early 1950s. The reel is in great working order; clicker is loud and tight spool spins freely and smoothly. The line is only on the reel to give it visual appeal. I never intended to use the reel, so line would need replaced if you use it for actual fishing. Reel has minor corrosion spots here and there but for its age, it's in great shape. The reel box is in ok shape with a couple of tears and edge seams starting to come apart. Reel catalogs are in good shape.

The fishing rod is a true big game monster; I never saw a rod this heavy in all my years of fishing. This rod is straight out of old photos of Ernest Hemingway and Zane Grey from the 1920s, 30s. I have done a lot of research on this rod but little to no reliable info is available. The rod is solid wood and very heavy (not sure what type; possibly ash wood). The rod might be a custom rod based on the carved grip and the rod detail. I’m not able to find any makers mark on rod or maybe I don’t know where to look. The only writing that I found is on the roller tip that says "LEE’S Miami fl". The rod has a great patina from old age and makes it look that much better. The rod is tight and no loose parts. The rod is 7ft long and comes apart into two pieces right in front of reel seat.

The leather strapped big game harness I bought to go along with the rod and reel for display purposes only.

It is NIB (new in original box) with original papers, spare spool, reel tool, spare side plate screw, spare bail spring and an additional screw (not sure which one).

This reel is the ultimate in quality and function made of the finest materials in France, has not been made for many years and was the best quality produced by Mitchell in a unique automatic bail configuration (finger tip bail release with automatic return upon cranking the handle). It is a collector's and/or a spin caster's dream reel. These are very hard to find, so don't miss out on this one!"

With the "Mitchell Otomatic" any preparation for the cast is radically eliminated. The pick-up is so designed that it opens to free the line automatically by simply pressing with the forefinger of the hand holding the rod.

Vintage Penn 711, BLACK! 1966, What a Find! Click HERE for details!

Vintage Penn 711 Spinning Reel With Box & Paperwork!

This is a Vintage Penn 711 Spinning Reel from 1966! It comes with the box, paperwork and original wrapping paper. The reel has scratches but the pictures look worse than it really is as we take closeups. According to Ben Wright, author of "The Wright Price Guide for the Reel Man" Penn made 400 710 reels with a flat black finish and 400 with a stippled black finish in 1966. As Penn kept no records of how many 711 reels they made, we don't know how many are left. Ben Wright estimates there were between 10-100. I have also heard that they made 1 hours worth of these reels, but I can't verify that. I opened up the reel and took pictures of the inside to show that this is not a repainted reel. The box is in good shape and has the original cardboard insert. The wraping paper is crumpled and has oil stains on it.

edward vom hofe fishing reel

MASSIVE - EDWARD VOM HOFE 14/0 Commander Ross Game Reel Bidding has ended

Here is a wonderful example of an early, massive Edward vom Hofe 14/0 Commander Ross big game fishing reel from 1936. This scarce big game reel is stamped with the model number 732 as well as the size, 14/0, and the dating code, "C" 92. This huge reel measures 7 inches in diameter and 4 1/4 inches across the inside spool. Almost impossible to find, this very desirable, early version of the Commander Ross reel has no rim throw levers to operate the free-spool or clicker. It also has the sliding oiler cap in the 2 o'clock position and the early hard rubber cap at the center. The reel also sports the early small tulip/bicycle grip knob. The reel has a small chip in the hard rubber at the top of the front rim but is in otherwise wonderful condition both aesthetically and mechanically. The 14/0 Commander Ross reel was only made for a few years to compete with reels like the Hardy Zane Grey as well as reels made by Kovalovsky, J.A. Coxe and Fin-Nor to name a few. The Commander Ross reels were the reel of choice for such notable anglers as Michael Lerner and S. Kip Farrington. Ernest Hemingway also used Vom Hofe Commander Ross reels on occasion. VERY FEW of these non-cradle Edward vom Hofe 14/0 big game reels exist and this example, unlike most, has all its original parts. Do not miss this chance to add this scarce reel to your Edward vom Hofe or big game fishing reel collection.
