Easy To Use Jones Of London Brass Reel 4 1/2" Kit [W9pkBYeg]

A nice Jones of London salmon winch, 4 1/2" diameter with 1 1/2" spool width. All brass throughout. "Jones of London" engraved in the winding plate, including the "111 Jermyn St, London" address. The original owner's initials were are also engraved just next to the ivorine handle. Good overall condition with some markings around the edge on the backplate and the foot is pretty straight though has been slightly dressed on one end. Mechanically the reel does seem to have a slight catch when the knob is near the foot, but it is relatively minor. Click and pawl fixed drag. A nice early example of a classic salmon winch.
