LATE 1800s 4.5" SOLID BRASS CENTREPIN REEL. A REAL BEAST AT NEARLY 2 LBS. SUPERB

I HAVE BEEN COLLECTING FISHING TACKLE FOR MANY YEARS BUT HAVE NEVER COME ACROSS A REEL LIKE THIS - IT A BEAST OF A THING, MADE OF SOLID BRASS WITH A DIAMETER OF 4.5 INCHES, AND WEIGHTING JUST UNDER 2 LBS! FEATURES INCLUDE A FULL LENGTH BRASS FOOT,  A BONE HANDLE WHICH SPIINS FREELY ON IT'S SPINDLE,  AND A MK,1 CLICK-CHECK MECHANISM.   NOT ONLY IS IT IN SUPERB CONDITION WITH ONLY MINOR INDICATIONS OF USE, THE PATINATION ON IT IS UNMARKED AND SHOWS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN 'MUCKED ABOUT' WITH IN ANY WAY.    I AM QUITE CONFIDENT THAT IT DATES FROM THE LATE 1800's, AND ITS SIZE AND WEIGHT MAKES IT LIKELY TO HAVE BEEN MADE FOR TROLLING LAKES AND LOCHS FOR SALMON.  I AM SELLING IT WITH AN UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE.
