Mepps-Un adorable petit Bébé !!!
My postman keeps bringing me lovely things.......A Mepps Baby Vamp in superb condition,the badge doesn't even have a scratch !!! Made 1938 to 1948 so this one COULD be 85 years vintage.I had to de-burr a couple of the body screws,other than that,a tiny bit of WD here and there.FANTASTIQUE.

I love the Mepps series of reels and I have had quite a few but never one in this condition. It is a cracker.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

The removable body badge suggests the reel can be changed from L to RHW but after fiddling with a RHW Baby Vamp,they are not convertible.Being of LHW persuasion I was a tad dissa.

You need to get measuring Russell.

A first edition and in fabulous condition, perfect well done.
