Farlow Patent Lever Reel Vintage Fly Tackle Chestnut brown silks with blackFor sale here is a near mint example of Farlow's Patent Lever reel. This 4 1 4" reel winds true and the check is still very nice. Horn handle and half coin tension control. Hard to find in this condition. Foot slightly and neatly filed. I believe this reel dates to 1895 1906.
