William Mills Fairy Trout Reel

758


A superb little William Mills & Sons "Fairy" trout reel. 2 1/2" in diameter this is the small lightweight reel that Mills had made to balance their one and one-quarter ounce light line bamboo rods. This is the circa 1950 model with the raised pillar side plates, nickel silver foot and the slightly dished aluminum spool that turns with a soft clicking sound. It has the half-handle with the center screw as does the grease cap on the rear plate which helps dates this model. There are no dents, scratches or chips in the hard rubber and the foot is as factory. These reels are very hard to find in this condition.
Shipping Information
We ship at cost to the buyer and in the majority of cases do so via UPS with full insurance and signature. There are cheaper options but our experience has been that you get what you pay for and that it's not worth taking risks when shipping what are often one-of-a-kind items. 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.
Other Terms
Unless otherwise noted, all items come with a 3-day inspection period during which they can be returned to us for a full refund (provided that they are in the same condition in which they left our shop). Return shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. If an item is returned, we will issue a refund within 10 days upon receipt. Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
