Edward Vom Hofe Salmon Fly Reel 5/0

Edward Vom Hofe Salmon Fly Reel 5/0A beautiful early model Edward Vom Hofe Salmon Reel in 5 0 size or 4 3 8" in diameter. This was the model that would eventually be named the Restigouche 423. This reel carries the original owner's name, Francis Bartlett of Boston Mass, which is engraved in a lovely script on the front plate along with the date 1893. It is in excellent condition, especially for its age, and free of any defects that I could find. The rims are excellent, the sideplates
