Saracione Deluxe II Marbleized Trout Reel

Saracione Deluxe II Marbleized Trout ReelAn exquisite Saracione Deluxe II marbleized trout reel in mint condition and set up for LHW. It weighs 5. 2 oz and is serial #302. 3" in diameter with a 1 1 8" spool width. As I've mentioned before when these models have popped up, they appear to me to have the finest level of craftsmanship that I've ever seen in a trout reel. The side plates are marbleized red and black gutta percha. Aluminum foot, spool, and crank handle. Soldered german silver

There's a bit of rash on the rims but nothing troublesome

The rod is in near mint restored condition performed wonderfully by Dennis Stone and is un-fished since

Serial number 0508 out of 1000 reels made

The rod is in excellent condition with the only issue being some "alligatoring" of the varnish in places
