Steans & Co. / E.J. Brown - 4 5/8" Sea/Salmon Silex style reel

VFT4334


For sale is a very scarce Silex-style reel made by E.J. Brown and sold by Steans & Co. from New Zealand. 1950s vintage. 4 5/8" diameter, 1 1/2" spool width, weight 21 1/4 oz. Right hand retrieve. A very solid reel mechanically. No repairs or unoriginal parts exist. The foot is perfect. The on/off click lever works as intended. The hand brake applies an adequate amount of pressure to the revolving spool while fighting a fish. The spool screw also serves as a startup drag tension setting.
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.
