EDWARD VOM HOFEPop-Out Anti Reverse - Collar Drag
~ Stamped 937 - 6/0 ~
For your consideration: Edward vom Hofe, pre-star drag, big game reelin the 6/0 size. This fine Edward vom Hofe reel has these features.
- Collar adjustable drag (wrench not included)- Front mounted rim throw pop-out anti-reverse, - Rear mounted coin-edge rim throw adjustable drag.
The reel is not marked with a year letter so most likely it was made before... 1908. The reel is stamped - 937 - on the foot, however, it resembles a model 521 "Special Star" reel. The "Special Star" was first made in 1907, serial numbers began in 1908 so perhaps that would indicate that this reel was made in 1907. This reel represents Edward vom Hofe's finest pre-star drag reel, the most sophisticatedsalt water reel money could buy at the time. The reel is a 6/0 in size.
The reel is in fine condition showing a little honest in use wear. The foot could use a good cleaning but otherwise the reel is in Excellent-condition. The reel has a leather thumb drag that is in great shape. All the functions of the reel operate just as they should.
The consummate turn of the century tarpon and tuna reel. A favorite at the Tuna Club on Catalina Island.A must have for any big game collection. PLEASE SEE MY OTHER LISTINGS FOR MORE GREAT VINTAGE TACKLE
