Very Rare Dingley The Climax Fishing Reel 4 Inches
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:16374852 | Brand: Dingley |
Country/Region of Manufacture: United Kingdom | UPC: Does not apply |
What makes this reel very rare..., the only one I have seen like this, is that on the outside it also has the original and seldom seen Dingley stamp: W.H.Dingley's PATENT, Alnwick. Meaning is one of few reels made and sold directly by Dingley and not by a retailer like Hardy, Abercrombie & Fitch, etc.
The reel works, the spool turns, the brake works and the clicker lever moves very well. The spool has all the spokes. The main problem is that the reel is missing half of the outer rim, as you can see in the photos. It can be repaired by adding a rim from another 4 inch fishing reel, but only by a "connaisseur".
Please take a good look at the photos before bidding and ask for any other info.
