That's very stylish Evert.
I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I felt the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete.

A pretty reel - very stylish for the period - one up on the Mitchell 304 - 314!

My goodness... that is exquisite.... I love that perforated spool... it almost has an Art Deco look to it, or maybe a hint of Steam-Punk feel... whatever, it's superb Evert
Just one more cast love, and I'll be on me way home

Stunning. I've admired these for a while, you've done it proud.
