The incredibly versatile B.F. Meek...

[Mike N]

Not only was B.F. Meek one of the finest reelsmiths in history, but one of his simple sterling silver spoons just sold for an incredible $227.50...

Reel collectors are starting to realize that to get a complete picture of the maker, it’s great to add to your collection paper ephemera and other items.

I haven't seen one of these sell in a while, but my recollection is that they have typically been around the $200 mark.

That size spoon makes a Great Fish Scaler for Crappie too!

Incredible indeed. As for myself, still looking for the #6-12 (yes, I think there was a 12, please prove me wrong). I have everything else pictured. I am looking for another screwdriver, since Ron carries one around to fix reels with, I think that I need another for that purpose.

Awesome lot of stuff there Jay !!!

For anyone interested, here's a link to some info on the "Meek Brass Tool" ...

I just found this photo I took last year at FATC Daytona. It shows a Meek silver spoon and a rare Meek gravy ladel being offered by Norm Pinardi.



I saw this link where a large Meek soup ladle is being offered:
