Leonard Mills Raised Pillar Fly Reel 5 Weight I kept the coke bottleA nice little Leonard Mills raised pillar reel which has ~2 5 8" diameter across the frame. Favors RHW. Excellent overall condition for its age. Non adjustable drag, polished aluminum raised pillar frame. Hard rubber side plates with "Leonard Mills" still visible. Nickel silver bolsters and screw heads. The brass counter balanced handle is nickel plated. A nice strong click check. A great example of the classic raised pillar style of reelmaking.
