In German silver, with a single action reel and a straight ivory handle, with a one inch wide spool, and 'flat back', the side plates both have a single band of coin-edge knurling on the rim, and stamped on the rear plate 'B.F. Meek & Sons Louisville, KY, No. 44', the reel foot stamped '2515'. (Quantity:1)Notes:The Meek No.44 reel is thought to have been introduced late in 1899, with the introduction of the first model German silver, single action reel. This is an early second version.
