TT opinion:
W R Pape of Newcastle, 2” antique all brass brook trout fly reel dating c 1900. Original polished horn handle, 2 screw drum face, probably made by Malloch of Perth for Pape. Smooth check clicker, original screws and most finish. Cute little reel comes with a Farlow of London red baize lined fitted block leather reel case. The lid detached is at the rear so needs to be glued or stitched. What a lovely little display set and the reel can still be fished too
