Fully functional vintage fly fishing reel from the 1940s era, sold with original box and complete accessories.
Included:
Wilby No. 11 fly reel with original cardboard box
Appears to be original braided fishing line still spooled on reel (discoloration)
Luxon brand brass swive & clasp (marked/authentic)
Vintage cork float with line slot
All original components as stored together for 80+ years
Condition & Functionality:
Reel mechanism works perfectly - smooth retrieval with audible click
Original patina throughout (honest age-appropriate wear)
Cardboard box sturdy and intact with visible "Wilby Fly Reel No. 11" label & logo. Box shows one split in corner.
This isn't a restored piece or reproduction - genuine working reel that was maintained and stored properly by its original owner. The fact that the reel, box, line, swivel/clasp & float all survived together is uncommon. Perfect for collectors of vintage fishing tackle or anyone who appreciates mid-century sporting goods.
