Allcock Aerial model 7990 Lever Type Ventilated Aerial Mahseer
Allcock Aerial model 7990 Lever Type Ventilated Aerial Mahseer
An Aerial Lever Type Mahseer reel, with brake. Patent number 135251 granted to J W Young in 1918.
In perfect working order and cosmetically looking pretty good for her age.
This actual reel belonged to Bob Singleton and featured in his book "The Allcock Aerial": A collectors guide. A Bible amongst collectors.
Garry Mills of The Mills Tackle Company then took ownership of this reel and fashioned his own very lovely version of it.
It now resides in France.
