Mallochs reel

[BJMason]

Hi guys.
I have mallochs reel that you can turn and it cast like a spool reel. I no nothing about reel myself not even sure how it come to be in procession. Their are some letters engraved on it, which R.G.H.H-V. It's a bit dirty and the handle is missing but other than that it works ok. Any info would be most appreciated. Thanks.
Bernard.

These reels come up for auction fairly regularly, but don't seem to attract much interest these days:

No idea what the letters mean on yours, unless it's the owner's initials (sounds like a very posh name if so!)?

Hi Bernard, sounds like a Malloch Sidecaster - Google is your friend.

Depending on size and material it's made of, they can be worth a small amount. There are also fakes out there.

Photos would help

Malloch's of Perth are still going - wonder if they'd have a handle?
