Orvis 1874 Original Fly Reel with Walnut Box
$ 950
VFT1842
For sale here is a very rare C.F. Orvis 1874 Trout Reel with its original walnut box (with original parchment paper too!). This reel is considered to be the first ventilated fly reel. Riveted construction - second model. 2 3/4" diameter, 3/8" spool width, removable handle, nickel plated brass. The reel can be fished right or left hand retrieve and the click still works really well. Nickel plated finish is in really nice condition. The reel foot has been filed down some but is full length. Comes with a nice ORCA patch as well. This is a great chance to own an original classic American trout reel!

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.
