Antique Carlton Mgf. Co. 9 MULITPLE Fishing Reel Pat Oct 27, 1903 Rochester, NY

Description

Vintage / Antique Carlton Mfg. Co. 9 Multiple Casting Reel. It is in very good condition, patent date of Oct. 27, 03, I think this reel dates to 1906 (Carlton made reels from 1903 to 1907), the click and the brake work properly, smooth action, handle length is adjustable, foot is stamped "80" (pretty sure this means it is the 80 yard model), missing two screws, according to an old ad I found the reel "...is of German silver and rubber" and "The reel multiplies nine times and the patent extension handle gives greatly increased leverage and absolute control of a jumping fish".
A helpful ebayer emailed me to say the bearing cap may not be the right one, I do not know enough about this model so please take a look at the pics.
