I hate to repeat myself but Rockape's photo's are sublime.

That’s a lovely reel, great photo’s too.
I can see why people collect them.
I would be interested to know how the spindle ends are finished, where they contact the jewels, are they rounded, or pointed?
Thanks.

Thank you Crucian.

I'm kicking myself here, because I usually photo document all my reel overhauls, but for some strange reason, in this case I didn't.... ???
I have a vague recollection of fhe spindle ends being rounded, but I'll re- check a video I saw on a Summit stripdown, and see if that can tell us.

Standby.

Ok, back again, and yes my memory served me correct, the spindle ends are rounded.

Thank you

Just before the Summit turned up, I got the little Portage Atlas on the right; another Pflueger associated range of reels which I have got the bug for.
The one on the left is the Seminole, both are stamped 40 on the reel foot (40 yards of line apparently, but which line I don't know, and the Atlas looks like it will hold a lot more than the Seminole?).
