Antique 1885 patented Julius Vom Hofe 2 1/2” Ebonite/Nickle plated Brass small multiplying reel
A fabulous late Victorian USA maker Julius Vom Hofe multiplyer/baitcasting reel. This is possibly the best ever small mutilplying reel ever made. It still works and sounds like a clockworking mechanism. So so smooth and quiet…. nice and loud when in ratchet mode. A fine fine reel that surpasses any other maker from the USA or England since for this type of reel. Also very light due to the Ebonite/Hard Rubber main body parts.
