Leonard Bimetal Reel
$ 1,850

A beautiful little H.L. Leonard, Pat. 1877 bi-metal fly reel. Here is what many consider to be the classic American fly reel as made by Francis Philbrook and Edward Payne. 2 1/2" diameter with a 1" spool width. This one, with the name and patent date, is considered by most to be the first of these raised pillar reels, although several reels have surfaced that have the Leonard name in a cartouche, possibly stamped as such before the patent date was assigned. This example does not have any missing or replaced parts, and the click is strong and favors RHW. A superb example of this early Leonard model!

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.

Refunds will be either administered by providing a check or, when possible, by canceling a credit card purchase.
