L.H. Design Fly Reel - Series E Sapphire Model (4/5) Salmon and Steelhead Rods Ferrules date from the '20's

Ferrules date from the '20's or '30's as they are the "pot belly" type seen on older Payne and Leonard rods (I love the sculptural touches found on these early catskill tradition rods)

Slight handling mark on the reel foot

The cork shows only the slightest of handling marks

Over time the varnish has suffered from heat and gravity

hence the name "Pace Changer"
