An Edward Vom Hofe Model 423 Restigouche Salmon fly reel in good overall condition. Size 4/0 - 3 7/8" diameter. RHW. This reel carries the '02 patent date on the sliding oil cap. German silver safety bands and a pair of roller bars. The frame is in excellent condition. The hard rubber sideplates have turned slightly brownish, as is typical over time, though they are free of issues. All but two screw heads have some discoloration which may be corrosion, though it's possible that a good cleaning of each might remove it, I just can't tell for sure. The reel has a strong adjustable drag and click and a seven detent pointer drag with all but two of the bright red dot indicators nice and visible. Single action retrieve. The reel foot is full length and the foot crossbar has "423" and "4/0" on it as well as the serial number C272. Comes in a nice leather block case.
