Early Hard Rubber Abbey & Imbrie Bass Reel

A German silver and hard rubber 2 1/4" diameter, 1 1/8" wide spool reel with top-hat style head plate, and hard rubber tail plate that is very faintly stamped "Abbey & Imbrie - NY". With a reversed "S" shaped handle, "flat sided" twist click switch on the head plate and narrow waisted screw-off end caps, this is a classic looking black bass reel from the turn of the century. Condition is VG, having one tiny crack at the foot screw on the head plate side, and light surface scratches.
