    Description

    Up for auction a Nice and rather Scarce 1905-1920 MONTAGUE CITY ROD CO. "NEPTUNE PROFESSIONAL" 60-YARD NICKEL PLATED CASTING TRADE REEL. These can be very tough to find. These were produced by Montague during the first quarter of the last century for exclusive sale through Wm. Frankfurth Hardware of Duluth, Minn., who owned the trademarked "Neptune" brand of reels. I've added a photo of an 1893 ad for Frankfurth's "Neptune" fishing tackle. Face plate is stamped
    "Neptune PROFESSIONAL"
    , while the tail plate reads "You Get More Worth From
    Frankfurth"
    and "STEEL PIVOTS". A highly ornamented mid-grade model that comes equipped with strong tail plate-mounted clicker & drag switch, removable oil caps and a counterbalanced handle with an ivoroid grip. Reel is in Good to Very Good condition, showing moderate overall wear. Displays nicely. Works perfectly and is very smooth-running. A nice example of these early and scarce trade reels from Montague/Frankfurth, all original and complete. Buyer to pay .90 shipping via U.S. priority Mail, with full insurance and tracking. Payment must be received within 3 days of auction closure. Thanks for your time and good luck.
