Wanted: German Silver Saltwater Reels

Post by fishstuf »

The earlier, the better. Haven't added to my collection in some time. Also looking for unusual Perezes. Many thanks for any help.

Laurie,
At 4" in diameter, I'd say this reel marked J.B. Crook & Co was made for saltwater. Not counting those with hard rubber sideplates, have you seen many GS reels this size or larger?

John, nice reels and someone might be interested, but i believe Laurie is looking for all NS reels rather than later models with hard rubber side plates.
