A set of 4 nice JVH reels for sale

[kevinhaney1]

I’m offering the following set of four nice marked JVH reels for sale as a group. All are solid reels that are free spinning, with very good clicks. From left to right, the details are as follows:

1. 1/0 size – Marked Julius vom Hofe on side plate with 1885 and 1889 patent dates, and “Sold by E vom Hofe & Co., NY” on the handle. No cracks in rubber, no issues.
2. 2 size - Marked Julius vom Hofe on side plate with 1885 patent date. No cracks in rubber, no issues.
3. 3 ½ size - Marked Julius vom Hofe on side plate with 1885 patent date, and “Quadruple” on reverse plate. No cracks in rubber, no issues.
4. 4 size - Marked Julius vom Hofe on side plate with 1885 patent date, and “Quadruple” on reverse plate. Several slight screw cracks in back plate (but still solid and usable) and loss of plating on counterweight.

I’m asking $350 for the set, plus $20 shipping to the continental US. PayPal preferred.
