Vom Hofe Commander Ross Model 722 Size 12/0

Post by clacker39 »

HI
I owe a great deal of gratitude to John Elder who took his valuable time to assist me in the reassembly of this reel.
I was fortunate to have been able to purchase it in pieces [an ice cream container full],however I was not sure whether all of the parts were there.
I did have to have a friend make 2 new screws for me to complete the assembly.
Thanks again John.

Regards Clacker39

WOW! I have purchased a heck of a lot of store bought ice cream in my day and never found one of those in my container! I wonder if they make a Peaches N' Klein or a Strawberry Steadcake flavor? :roll:

Great work John!

Pretty Reel Bob, Now all you need is a nice 10/0 Commander Ross beside it. Happen to have an extra. Wasn't in an ice cream box though. Nice job, Doug
