I recently found an Edward Vom Hofe 355 fly reel in size 3 1/2 which has a flat back with a screw off bearing cap rather than the usual stamped sliding bearing cover. The foot is stamped 355 and 3 1/2, the front plate and crank are EVH 355, and the check button on the back is EVH. Has anyone eve seen an EVH 355 with a flat back and screw off bearing cap?

I own a Restigouche 423 E. Vom Hofe 6/0 salmon reel, previously owned by a direct descendant of Lewis Rutherford Morris. signer of the Declaration of Independence, (also, Dr. Lewis Rutherford Morris). The reel is in excellent condition, and is in its original leather case with the Mill’s and Son’s registration tag. Would be appreciative of an estimate of the retail value, considering the description to be honestly accurate.
