purchase is a rare, early antique Shakespeare Marhoff Model 1964 level-winding baitcasting reel, explicitly stamped as a historic 1912 Model on the foot.Manufactured early in the timeline by the William Shakespeare Jr. Company out of Kalamazoo, Michigan, this pre-WWI survivor features a classic nickel-silver frame construction, early structural end-cap accents, and its original dual counter-balanced handle fitted with stunning marbled swirl grips.Condition Details:Cosmetic: Great antique condition showing an attractive natural patina. Text stampings on the faceplate and the reel foot (\"1912 MODEL\", \"PATENTED\", \"3635\") are incredibly crisp, clear, and perfectly legible. Displays honest, light surface scuffs expected from a piece over a century old (please review all photos carefully).Mechanical: The handle turns smoothly, and the early level-wind line guide carriage successfully transitions across the worm gear mechanism without binding.
