Paul Hermann "Baby Hermann" Trout Reel

Paul Hermann "Baby Hermann" Trout ReelA superb little "Baby Hermann" fly reel by the late Dr. Paul Hermann. 2 5 8" diameter with a spool width of 7 8". Neutral wind that could be fished either LHW or RHW. Near mint condition with just a small trace of cosmetic rubbing to the frame edges in a few places, but no major scratches anywhere and the sideplates are pristine. Very nice condition overall. This is the epitome of a bench made reel, with Dr. Hermann making only 112 of these Baby

Unquestionably one of the most beautiful reels ever produced by Hardys
