Repairing an ebonite reel

Post by kevinhaney1 »

Can anyone put me in touch with someone who could possibly repair a chipped ebonite plate on the below reel?

Hey Kevin.

This is going to sound like a crazy question, so I apologize in advance ...are you sure its ebonite? Looks like alloy to me.

If anybody can do it, and it is ebonite, you're best bet is John Elder. One of the best,
and most knowledgeable people I know when it comes to this kind of repair work.

This reel looks like its English and I agree with Dean that it looks like alloy. Early alloy reels did have a tendency to chip and fracture. Can we see the other side please?
