#261Very nice those Uslans. I have had several and till have one of them. The uplocking reel seats are a bit unusual. In my experience, the downlockers and bright ferrules are much more common. Nice collection!

#271Here is a pic of a few more then 3 of a kind although all the CFO's and the two Battenkills are from England. The front row has "several" Bill Ballan reels in it. Also the Sage 506 in the back row is English made of course. I also have a number of extra spools for the CFO's and one for the Sage.

#274Short tip,
Did I read the tag right was that a 50H? Can you elaborate on the line at and action. It would be the first 50H I have seen.

#276Red1, it's a 50 Hewitt. Has the full intermediates, slightly longer grip, and "pinched" circle snake guides. Ca. 1930. It's a real nice 6 wt. rod, just a bit beefier than a 50DF. Lower reel is a Wm. Mills and Son "Brodhead" by J.W. Young.

That is one sharp Leonard! I had an option to buy a Hewitt de lux years ago sight unseen. Now I wish I did.

#280I don’t own one... yet but I love Leonard rods! Maybe one day.
