Dingley Fly Reel 3" William Mills & Son - Caged Spool Fly Reel

VFT12660


For sale here is a RARE Dingley-made 3" caged spool fly reel made for retailer William Mills & Co in New York. It's very hard to find Wm Mills reels like this. This highly sought after brass pin caged reel has an early fixed caliper check, which is nicely blued and adequately strong. Correct original and un-filed smooth brass foot. No line grooves. There are no cracks. Original ivorine handle spins freely. Tiny amount of end play (not even close to requiring repair) and no wobble. As with most leaded Dingleys, the majority of the original leading remains on the reel. Reel has the D stamp inside.

I have FOUR Wm Mills Dingley caged spool reels I am selling.....see them here. Make me an offer on the set. My guess is you won't find another collector with all 4!

Your shipping estimate will be calculated at checkout and if you have any questions please contact us. Please note the buyers are responsible for any applicable import duties or fees that may levied. Due to the importance of packing items carefully please allow up to two weeks for arrival (depending on how busy we are) though we certainly do our best to get items to you as expeditiously as possible.
