Choice 1921-1930 MEISSELBACH #580 "Tripart" Take-Apart Casting Reel w/ORIGINAL

Description

It's my pleasure to offer at auction a Very Nice 1921-1930 MEISSELBACH No.580 "TRIPART" NLW TAKE-APART CASTING REEL WITH ORIGINAL BLACK "OHIO" BOX. These were produced by A.F. Meisselbach Mfg. Co. sometime between their move to Ohio in 1921 and the end of production in 1930. These can be tough to find in the original box. Face plate is stamped "TRIPART" N
o
580", while the tail plate carries the five 1904 to 1909 patent dates. Under the foot reads "A.F. Meisselbach Mfg. Co. Newark, N.J. U.S.A. - 80 YDS.". Comes equipped with strong clicker, tension control switch, a counterbalanced handle with an ivoroid grip and a take-apart feature which allows it to be disassembled for servicing by simply unscrewing one or both of the side plate rings by hand. Reel is in Very Fine condition, showing just light wear. Displays beautifully. Reel works perfectly and is very smooth-running. Put up in the original black "Ohio" box in about fair to good condition. Shows overall heavy wear and paper loss and has been touched up, but remains solid and complete. Carries a full label that is correctly marked for the reel. All in all, a tough early combo from Meisselbach, all original and complete. To be sold with a very low starting bid and NO RESERVE. Buyer to pay .90 shipping via U.S. Priority Mail, with full insurance and tracking. Payment must be received within 3 days of auction closure. Thanks for your time and good luck.
