TT opinion:
A good looking all brass Birmingham plate wind reel with most original finish, 4-1/2″ diameter x 2″ wide, Malloch style with the faceplate incised rings and handle pattern, correct pillars and screws, no ratchet clicker. Weighs 740 grams so a bit of a lump of a reel ideal for balancing greenheart and split cane salmon fly rods.
