Hello All,
I thought I would share pictures of my newly restored Eton Sun Wood reel. The reel was in pretty bad shape when I got it so I decided to do a total restoration. I dated the reel between 1885-1906 but I am not certain. The reel is 5" in diameter and is quite heavy. This is one of the nicest wood reels in my collection. I WAS planning on restoring this reel and selling it on Ebay but my wife saw it and wants me to keep it.
