Check out the bronsonreelphotos.com site...look under Bronson named reels, then Warrior or Sparton. If your reel is different then those...please PM me!

Here's the three different varieties of reels with "see-through" amber side plates produced by Bronson (a plastic that Bronson called "Brontex").
The reel in the center, with original box, is the earliest #4100 "Warrior" (with just the see-through face plate). It was produced in 1933 only.
The reel on the right is the later #4100 "Warrior" (with both see-through side plates), made in 1934-1935.
The reel on the left is the #2200 "Spartan" (with A.B.L. Control), made in 1934.
