Agreed.

I think one thing that makes a reel a classic is imitation (the finest form of flattery?). Generally, no one copies the also-rans, they copy the classics.

Take for instance the E. vom Hofe Peerless and Perfection, whose basic style has been copied by Saracione, Godfrey, Ballan, Bogdan, Adams, Bellinger and Janciuras, among others.

What makes a reel a classic? Should be: "What makes a reel a classic to you?"
Personal opinion, nothing else.

So a Hardy Perfect that sold for 140 shillings in 1932 would have to sell for more than $550.00 today to be a Classic?

Whereas, if you buy a classic reel at auction you might get it for $250-$350; and if you were to escalate the reel's original price to today's prices it would more often than not sell for more than $250-$350 (I know, there are a lot of classic reels... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (steeldog94) http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/sreply/137988 Fri, 08 May 2009 22:42:50 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: When is a Reel Considered a Classic? ]]> http://clarksclassicflyrodforum.yuku.com/reply/137981/t/When-is-a-Reel-Considered-a-Classic-.html#reply-137981 The only measure that is not subjective.
