Vintage Horton Meek No.6 jeweled reel and Vintage Heddon\'s Dowagiac Bamboo 3-piece Bait Rod 1920’s or 30\'s
This belonged to my grandfather and is being sold as one piece. Vintage Heddon\'s Dowagiac Patented, very old Split Bamboo 3-piece 54 1/4” Bait Rod with Vintage Horton Meek jeweled reel No.6
I have not seen another reel #6 by this company, so I don’t have any information. I have been informed bycollectorsit is one of 10 know to exist. My grandfather was from Chicago and that seems to be the origin of this reel.
I believe he would have purchased this in the late 1920’s orearly 1930\'s,as I have photos of him with the rod and reel from that time.
The reel has serial number 6106 on the bottom.
The reel spins and turns with the crank, but I do not know anything about how it functions, so I’m selling it as is with no guarantee.
The rod has three pieces, but the top piece is interchangeable for a total length of approximately 54 1/4 inches.
Sold as is.
