Raised Pillar Hendryx 60 with Thumb lever
Raised Pillar Hendryx 60 with Thumb lever
This Hendryx 60 has the two standard patent dates from 1876 and 1888 but it has the additional thumb lever which I haven't seen before. I have 3 of these with the same patent dates but this is the only one with the thumb lever. Is anyone familiar with these and do you have any additional info such as date scarcity etc. Thanks in advance. Scott

I would imagine that's an early model (late 1880's-1890's) with what I guess is a stop latch lever? Others here will know better than I. Very interesting reel. It pre-dates the earliest catalog I have (1904).

That is among one of the first Hendryx's made. The drag was on the side of the cap for only a short time and then moved to the front.
Always looking for HENDRYX reels and reel boxes

Is there any info on this style reel anywhere? Would like to at least see a pic of one with the pull pin drag.
