Bellinger Saracione Reel 3 1/4" 3-Piece I cannot find any evidence

I cannot find any evidence of brassing on the inside of the guides which indicates that it has had almost no use

To the discerning reader

This "44 Special" is a reproduction of the classic Meek reels

Medium cigar grip with small 1/4 inch corks

This rod also comes with an unusual brass top and collar (photo below) that I made while experimenting with a new style and design

Bellinger Saracione Reel 3 1/4" 3-Piece I cannot find any evidenceA handsome Bellinger Saracione 3 1 4" reel in RHW (convertible) with a narrow spool and in mint condition! Serial #046. I'm not sure what more you can say about this reel other than that it is one of the finest reels made today. Spectacular fit and spectacular finish. These model reels are no longer made and the closest current offering is Joe's Deluxe II which is price at $2,500. This one comes with an Arnie Mason case and a velvet bag. Beautiful
