{"title":"Edward Vom Hofe Fly Reels","description":"Edward Vom Hofe may be the most celebrated name in reelmaking. First established in 1867 in New York, Edward Vom Hofe was responsible for a host of early innovations, including a spring-loaded drag system, a click and pawl mechanism, and an automatic reel design. Though Edward produced a variety of different reel styles, the most valuable are his fly reels, especially those at either end of the size spectrum. After many decades of producing extraordinarily high-quality reels, the company eventually moved from New York to Philadelphia in 1940 and was ultimately sold to reelmaker Otto Zwarg.

The aluminum foot has been replaced. It has nickel silver rims, pillars, screws, counterbalance, on-off button, and oil port. The serpentine handle, spool, and foot are aluminum. The reel foot is 21\/32\" wide and 3\" long (this width will not fit modern reel seats). The stamp on the oil port reads \"EDW.

It also features bolstered german silver pillars, while the pillars on earliest reels did not have bolstered pillars.

The maker's mark on the headplate is faint but still easy to see under magnification. There is one very faint hairline crack in the rim at the four to five o'clock position in the last photo.
