For sale here is an Edward Vom Hofe Restigouche Salmon Reel - Model 423 - Size 3/0. Philadelphia, PA era circa 1940. Excellent+ condition. No cracks or even a blemish in the hard rubber plates. Strong drag. RHW.

It appears to me the reel has been polished at some time in the past and the "professional" missed a small area by one of the double pillars. See last photo. This isn't a negative per se, but I do think it should be disclosed. You should be able to assess all of the screws as well, which all are in fine shape with the exception of perhaps one, which is not totally buggered but it has encountered a non-fitting screwdriver at some point in its life. This is also apparent in the last photo.
