A very nice Otto Zwarg Saguenay Model 300 salmon fly reel in 2/0 size. RHW. 3 3/8" diameter with a 1 3/8" spool width and weighing 10.6 ounces. Single action. Serial number B83, one of the earliest Brooklyn-made reels before Zwarg moved to St. Petersburg in 1948. Excellent overall condition free of any major defects. The frame is in great shape, as are the pillars and sideplates. The screws show virtually no sign of having been touched, and the red dots around the drag adjuster are all nice and intact. The foot appears to have one side slightly filed, as it is slightly shorter than the other and there are a few discreet filemarks on it. The serial number is stamped on the side of the foot crossbar, and on the underside "300" and "2/0" have been stamped as well. No bag or pouch. Brooklyn reels are hard to find in good condition, and this is a very fine example of this model.
