You are bidding on a lovely little Julius vom Hofe (Edward vom Hofe's brother) fly reel. This is a tiny model 5, which is 2" in diameter with a 1" wide spool. It was originally intended for 40 yards of silk line. The hard rubber is clearly stamped: "Julius vom Hofe ~ Maker ~ N.Y." on the side plate along with an early retailer stamp "Dame, Stoddard & Kendall - Boston". All hard rubber side plates with protective plated metal rims. Fitted wi...th nickel-plated brass hardware. Strong constant click and only very light scoring from the handle on the hard rubber face plate. In very good condition showing only a little bit of brass through the nickel-plated parts. This exact reel is pictured on page 345 of Fly Fishing Treasures by Steve Woit.
