At 6 inches across, reels of this size were suited to heavier lines and the demands of pier, rock, and boat fishing in an era before fixed-spool reels became commonplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 6” Diameter x 1-3\/4” (Body) x 3-5\/16” (Foot)\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 1 lb. 3.8 oz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition notes: Very good vintage condition overall. Walnut body remains structurally sound and displays light surface wear consistent with age and use, including scattered scratches, scuffs, and small dents. No visible cracks, chips, or structural issues. Brass components show light tarnish and age-related discoloration while retaining an attractive patina. Twin wooden handles remain intact and secure; one handle displays a small chip of some age that has darkened and does not detract from appearance. Reel spins freely and smoothly on centrepin. No visible makers marks.  Reel has been gently cleaned and polished.  Other items in photos not included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNote: due to size, this item will not be gift-boxed.
