Vintage Aerial Centrepin Trotting Fishing Reel (1940's/1950's) . 4.3/8" diameter with a 1.1/4" caged wide drum. 12 ventilations to face with usual adjustable centre drag and twin handles (iverine?) , Wire V spring (groovy) rear optional check button. Brass foot with the correct "Kendal" spacers for adjustable reel-height-to-rod position. probably special order for some spindly fingered gent no doubt ,as it lowers the reel away from the rod .the customer is always right...
standard looking from the front ,but has iverine type handles .
A closer look inside the reel ,reveals its secret of that foot ,its got extended / raised foot with a cut out (thumb access) ,so as to take rim away from the rods handle.
strange reel ,but if you want it they can provide it ,I guess ...
