Excellent Meisselbach Featherlight #290 and box

[Richard Lodge]

Time to trim down my collection a bit. Here's an excellent nickel-plated stamped frame Featherlight #290 in original labeled box. This reel has the hourglass knob, which (according to Meisselbach and Meisselbach-Catucci Reels, by Phil White) dates it to c. 1912-19. You won't find a better example of this larger Meisselbach Featherlight reel. Plating is near perfect, no damage to the frame or knob, the foot is in fine shape and the click is crisp. Label on the box is in good shape and the box is fair to good without any splits or repairs. Price is $150, plus shipping, with payment by check or postal MO. I'm open to possible trades involving brass clamp reels or skeleton fly reels I don't have in my collection. Thanks for looking!
