2 ANTIQUE MARTIN No. 2 AUTOMATIC FLY FISHING REELS. One works for all functions to the best that I can tell: it has a U.S PAT Oct 9 1923. Like most old metal reels, it shows finish loss and ware - typical for one of this age. The rim edge on one side has a slight dent, but does not affect mechanics. The handle arm is bent in an upward position: this could be the way it was made, I do not know. The other Martin No. 2 does not have a patent numbe...r on it that I can see. This reel needs attention if it is to work, as in its current condition, the wind up mechanism will not turn, it is frozen. Maybe a little internal work or cleaning would solve this problem, I honestly do not know what it needs. The appearance of this reel is pretty much similar to the working reel with some finish loss and ware. Photos serve as part of the description. As with many times, photos may show glare lines, glare spots or shaded areas due to camera flash and lighting conditions that are not indicative of the true appearance. I will start the bidding at $5 dollars with NO RESERVE. The winner will pay the Priority Mail Shipping Charge according to location.
