A nice Murray Stewart model 300 salmon reel, 3 3/4" diameter with an approximate 1 3/8" spool width. Set up for LHW. Mr. Stewart makes these bench-made reels out of Glasgow Scotland and they are done in the classic S-handle tradition with a Bogdan-inspired drag system. Near mint condition with what I suspect was very light use. There is one small scuff on the frame near the foot and a little bit of very light cosmetic rim rash elsewhere, and the side plates and rest of the reel are very clean. Aluminum frame and spool with black anodized aluminum side plates, the reel has a Bogdan style drag adjuster on the outside as well as an oil port cover, poacher's knob, and Mr. Stewart's name stamp. 2:1 multiplying retrieve. The knob on the end of the crank handle is moderately sculpted. The reel is designed to hold 350 yards of backing into balance with 13', 14', or 15' foot two handed rods. The reel comes in a non-original mesh Simms bag.
