Edward vom Hofe – Peerless Model 355

For your consideration is an Edward vom Hofe Peerless model 355 fly reel in size 1. This is a 3" diameter reel with a 1 7/16" frame width weighing 5.35 ounces. Stamped on the rear sliding oil cover "EDW. VOM HOFE | N.Y. |  PAT. JAN 23, 83"

This reel has nickel silver rims, counterbalance, handle arm screw, sliding click switch, pillars, and screws. Screw heads are in perfect condition. This reel has a unique foot design, with the front foot shorter than the rear, allowing the reel's weight to sit back on the rod. Based on the machining, this has not been done afterward. No cracks in the hard rubber plates. One noticeable mark is on the front plate. The rear plate has a few insignificant marks. Mechanically, the reel is excellent, with a smooth, strong click. The tension is light, allowing it to be fished with either left- or right-hand wind. EVH Peerless reels are very difficult to source, especially in this good condition and this price.
