Does Anyone Know The Location of This Marvelous Wm. Slote Reel?

Post by RonG »

The fly reel was offered in a 1998 Marty Keane "Classic Rods & Tackle" catalog. According to the catalog, it had mother of pearl end plates and gold plated metal parts. What a beauty it is and it would be nice to see it today. Below is a photo of the reel and its 1892 marked leather case in Marty's catalog.

Ooops, I incorrectly identified the above reel as a Kopf reel. It appears to actually be a Slote reel.
