Considering selling a pair of Talbot No. 53 with black leather case SOLD

Post by steve kelly »

I purchased these from a fellow Orca member almost 20 years ago. They were described at the time as follows.

"I have a unique pair of Talbots that were given to the winner of a casting tournament many years ago and never were used. Housed in a black leather case with brass hardware and purple velvet inside, they are a pair of No. 53 models. One has a cork arbor and the other is the usual larger capacity."

$5500 for the pair.

Any questions or interest, please email me.

Thank you.

Steve

Talbot made these reels in the sizes 52, 53 and 54 corresponding to the reel size numbering of the time. It looks like the larger one could have been marked as a No. 54.

They are both the same size and marked 53. At least one of the pictures makes one look larger than than the other. I do have a 54 also, actually got it from you many years ago.
