Otto Zwarg 2/0 Model 300 Saguenay, Otto Zwarg was the production foreman at Edward Vom Hofe in the 1930s and made his first reels in Brooklyn in 1946 and moved to St. Petersburg in 1947 where he made reels until his death in 1958. His reels are more scarce than EVH reels. This reel has a diameter of 3 3/8", spool width of 1 3/8" and weighs 11 oz., RHW, Direct Drive, 7 stop adjustable drag, hard rubber sideplates with nickel silver end rings and fittings. Marked 2-0 and 300 along with F21, circa 1951. Made in St. Petersburg. Excellent original condition and mechanically perfect. No cracks or chips in the rubber, all screws look to be untouched, foot has been filed slightly on one end but is still approx. 2.5 inches and I've checked it on several rods and I haven't found one that it doesn't mount just fine on. Comes with properly sized leather case. Also has a very usable silk line and backing on the reel. Most desirable salmon size for single hand rods, holds an 8 wt. line and 200 yards of backing.
