Not so fast Jay !!! I don't see a 14/0 one piece cradle in the bunch ?? Lol ~!!~ The 16/0 is beautiful and the only one I have seen. I don't know if there was a 2 piece 16/0 or not or if there was a 12/0 one piece cradle ?? Beautiful group of cradles Jay !!

Nice! I’ve had them all BUT never at 1 time meaning the 14 first then the 12 then then16-0 cradle! Soon after I got my non cradle 16-0! Same thing happened with the hard rubber Meeks! First a #10 then the #11 then the #8! I became impatient, held the #10 THEN was offered the #9 only after the others were gone mmm. The 2nd 16-0 Hofe cradle I owned was also a wide spool but damaged with a piece of the hard rubber plate filled/missing BUT was chrome plated, had a black glass rod shaft AND was made in Philadelphia PA. Keep an eye out for it! I have seen plates replaced! Unfortunately space was an issue! 1st home I built out my basement walls to accommodate the recessed shelves! Nice collection!

I’ve also seen a 6 & 9-0 cradle but never a 10-0, not sure they ever made one...
Nice like where the threads goin... I’ve also seen and owner signed Hofe rods up to 14-0 but never larger. Anyone know of a larger rod?
