Antique Julius Vom Hofe 9/0 B Ocean Big Game Reel

Description

Selling a really nice Julius Vom Hofe B Ocean 9/0 big game reel, serial number B219.  I am no expert when it comes to antique reels, so please ask any questions prior to bidding.  What I can tell you is that this reel came from a larger collection, and was not being used when it was purchased.  It appears to work as it should, but if you are planning to use the reel, I'd suggest servicing it first.
The patent date is March 21, 1911.  The leather piece for the thumb is a Pflueger with the bulldog trademark.
Since I have no way of properly testing it, I'm selling it as is.  The release works, and the clicker, while not really loud, does click.
I'm starting this at what I believe to be a very low price, considering the maker, size, and age.
I recently purchased a collection of reels that had been sitting for several years and have decided to let some of them go.  See my other listings for some big game Penn and Julius Vom Hofe reels.  I will be adding more as time allows.
Shipping to the Lower 48 and Canada will be , and that will include all insurance and tracking.
