The german silver sliding drag adjustment bar on the back plate is stamped with the drag patent date of Jul 22, 1890. The reel remains in very good condition. The ebonite headplate has a couple of scratches, but no cracks. The tailplate is free of cracks as well. The screw heads are in fine condition. The reel foot has been lightly tapered on one end. Mechanically, the reel operates as intended with a bit of spindle/spool play. The reel measures 3 3/4" in diameter (4 1/4" pillar to pillar) with a 1 3/4" wide spool. The reel weighs 16.85 oz.
