Farlex Platewind Fly Reel 1-1 DD 4"A nice Farlex 1 1 Platewind direct drive fly reel, 4" diameter and set up for RHW (though the bias is fairly neutral). Raised pillar design. Serial #6. Unfished condition (there is one tiny nick on the foot edge at the midway point, which I'm pretty sure is a handling mark, as the reel shows no other signs whatsoever of having been used).
