Not sure John, could it be a Fox? I do like the rod though, at least what I see of it.

It's a Bronson. Likely a "Corsair" or "Sea Rover". If you look close, you can see "Coxe Drag" stamped on the handle.

I'll go with Mark with Bronson. But I have to think it is a Viking. There's one on my website.
