Harry Reynolds 4¾"x1" centrepin reel in very good condition spins lovely and fairly quiet for over 2 minutes having replaced the larger bearing and a very good working strong ratchet with brass knob with original handles and a line guard.
Reynolds History:
Harry Reynolds was an engineer at Stanton Iron Works in Nottingham, he made his first fishing reels sometime around 1938, local anglers referred to it as ‘The Reynolds Reel’.
He would make around half a dozen reels, then on a Saturday morning, he would get on the train to Sheffield, and sell the reels around the pubs, only returning once all of them were sold. At this time Sheffield had one of the largest population of anglers anywhere in the country, so Harry had little problem selling his reels. Harry continued to make his reels until he passed away. These reels on in the form of the Adcock Stanton reels.
