Edward Vom Hofe Early Model 423 5/0 Fly Reel

VFT12287


For sale here is a 5/0 EVH 423 salmon fly reel in good overall condition. Made in the early 1900s. This reel carries the 1883 patent "Edw. Vom Hofe - NY" marked oil cap, and has a strong click and fully functional adjustable drag with worn red indicator dots (on the winding plate). Comes with an excellent condition, original Vom Hofe reel case. There are minor cracks in the hard rubber on both plates, both between the screws by the reel foot. Photos should show this clearly.

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.
