J MacGowan Raised Pillar Brass Salmon Winch 6'10" The rod was made forAn interesting antique raised pillar salmon winch made by J MacGowan of London. McGowan made reels from the 1850's to the 1880's and this brass specimen is a fascinating example of an early trolling reel. The frame is 4" in diameter with a spool width of 1 5 8". Very nice condition throughout with no structural issues that I could find except for a little curve to both ends of the reel foot. The reel has a nice patina throughout. Domed ivorine handle.
