Does anybody know what reel this is?

[Trilob]

Hello everybody,

A couple of years ago I bought this reel. It belonged to late forum member Chavender. I love using the reel but was wondering if anybody has any info about it.





I can make more photo's when I'm home if needed.

Thanks!
Dirk

Possibly a bench-made artisan reel Dirk, sometimes referred to as a 'Rolls Royce' reel.

Does it have a ball race bearing? Such reels often do.

(We've got the same place mats as you! ).

I will check it out when home. Not sure if it does.
