Need photo Pflueger Tarpon reel circa 1929-1930
Hey all of you saltwater reel guys, I need a photo of a Pflueger Tarpon reel circa 1929-1930 (the reel not the photo!). Working on an article. Would like to see the "Tarpon" inscription if possible. Could also use a scan of the catalog page if someone happens to have it. Any help greatly appreciated.

Colby - I am home now & can send you a picture of the Pflueger Tarpon reel you requested but it does not have Tarpon stamped on it. I have never seen a Pflueger reel stamped TARPON. I have plenty of Montague reels stamped TARPON & TARPON TUNA. Do you still want the picture of the Pflueger reel? Thanks - Bill

Colby - I am at a loss on what reel you need a picture of. Pflueger did not make any reels marked Tarpon that I know of & the only ones they made & listed as tarpon reels were in the early 1900's like the 1904 catalog page that Robin posted. The reels they made & sold in the 1929 era were all named reels like the ADAMS & Atlapac. Do you want a picture of those 2 reels. Now Montague made TARPON reels in that period & they were marked TARPON, TARPON TUNA & all kinds of ways & if you need any pictures of these reels let me know. Thanks - Bill

See photo (click on photo to enlarge)
From May 1930 Gulf Coast Sportsman article "All's Well That Ends Well" by Rosetta Hess
"I didn't really know what it was, but later I found out it was called a rod and reel, and a good one at that - a Murphy pole, a Pflueger tarpon reel and a No. 36 Ashaway Line."
So I am trying to identify the reel in the photo ( I know very poor quality).
Also see Robin's scan from above.
Thanks for the help.
