A nice little Dingley telephone latch fly reel, 3" in diameter and set up for RHW. Retailed by Alex Martin as the "Caledonia" model and marked as such on the back plate along with their logo. Excellent overall condition with good patina still to the finish and other than the normal cosmetic wear for a reel of this age, it is in great shape. The only drawback to this reel is that the foot has clearly been filed and shortened (which should not affect its fishability however). Ivorine handle and the telephone style latch on the spool. Simple single check drag. "D3" stamped on the inside of the frame and "3" on the side of the foot. The single drag is nice and smooth and the spool is tight, with just a tiny bit of play. The reel currently has a line spooled on it.
