4” diam, 1 3/4” spool width, circa 1848-1855, marked in jeweler’s script "Ustonson & Peters Makers to the Queen 48 Bell Yard Temple Bar". Featuring a crank handle fitted with a bone handle grasp (a few age cracks to the bone), the foot is attached to the bridge via five pins, a bit loose/separated on one end, however, given the rarity of this early English reel, this does not deter from its desirability. The brass finish was polished years ago, showing old use with small areas of surface scratches, about VG condition with slight waves to the side plates and light surface rust on the iron handle screw, coming in an unmarked leather reel case.
