Chas Farlow and Co.191 The Strand, London 4 .75″ brass Plate Wind Salmon Reel, rare big size. Backplate script engraved with makers details, fish logo stamped to foot, original white handle and pillars, constant check, winding plate catches here and there, a big chunk of a salmon reel originally for Scottish and Norwegian rivers, good for a collector cabinet or can be fished with lines up to #12.
