New member humble display…

Post by Matty M. »

Hello!
I posted this pic of my living room display case in my new member profile a few weeks back and thought I’d share it here, too. Single action reels are on the top shelf. The second pic is a closer view of my E. vom Hofe No. 721 (12/0). Next to the 721 is an EVH 3/0 Universal, purchased from Dave Lehmann’s Antique Angler site.
I’m humbled by the many expert reels collectors associated with ORCA and Real Talk. I’m learning way more than I ever did on my own.

Many thanks,
Matty M.

I like the symmetry and the general eye candy. Part of our hobby is art. Nice work.

Hi, Matty. Beautiful display. Love the carving grouping. Is that a custom cabinet?

Thanks everyone for the kind words!

Paul: The display case is a 1930s Art Deco cabinet I found at a friend’s antique shop, Maltby Antiques (pictured). It’s full of dusty treasures…

That’s a cool display, Matthew. I particularly like the fish carving accents and the tiger maple case.

In what city and state is Maltby’s Antiques located?
