Kineya Raised Pillar Reel 2 1/4"

Kineya Raised Pillar Reel 2 1/4"A diminutive little 2 1 4" raised pillar reel from Kineya. Near mint condition. There is a little bit of patina here and there as well as a line on it, but otherwise this reel looks mint. Set up for RHW. Black matte faceplates with "IZCH, 160" etched into the winding plate. A handsome little reel. Comes in a clever clam shell style brown leather reel case, with two straps on the bottom to keep the reel secure. Nice design.

The slide band seat is varnished mahogany (and originally part of a large plank selected from a warehouse in Brooklyn by yours truly)

5 1/2" cigar grip with some hand soiling

rich color

Light yellow wraps with cinnamon edges

remembrances of men and fishing trips

Serial #10" stamped on the leather tube

They had many advantages: they were much less tiring than longer rods

Not many like this around anymore

An excellent Tom Moran fly rod

4" diameter and measuring 1 1/2" wide (not including the drag hub) with a 1" spool width

One of the earlier runs of Hardy's re-issue of the classic Bougle

The rod shows signs of having been refinished and whoever did it knew what they were doing as the varnish overcoat was expertly done
