Wm. Mills Hard Rubber Fairy Trout Reel

Faintly stamped "William Mills & Son - NY", this 2 3/8" diameter (measured pillar to pillar), 3/4" wide spool reel features hard rubber side plates, aluminum spool flanges and nickel silver foot, handle and pillars. Made for use with very light rods, this Ex condition example has been personalized with the initials "G.T.M." on the tail plate side, with the only mentionable flaw a handle shadow in the now slightly sun faded rubber.
