EVH 423 6/0 Before and After
Here are before and after pictures of an Edward vom Hofe 423 6/0 salmon reel. The serial number H 365 indicates it was made in 1915. The stamping on the rear grease cover " EDW.vom HOFE N.Y. PAT. Jan. 23, 83" was used from 1883 to 1924. When I got the reel it was in rough shape. The price was right so I bought the reel with the intention of seeing how much I could bring it back. Here are the results.

Quite a transformation, Ray! I much prefer the new look rather than that old crusty patina.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Nice save, Ray! Aren't you glad they used good materials in those days! You could fish that reel tomorrow!
