Standard 80 Yard Nickel Plated Fishing reel

Post by mrbiggfish »

Does anyone know who made a nickel plated reel with Standard on the side plate?
It has one ivory handle on the side of the reel. And what year this might have been made?
Thanks,
Kevin

At least a few makers did, maybe more. Need a photo for this one.

I'll say Montague City Rod Co., 1910-1925.

Thanks Mark, best $6 I've spent on eBay so far.

The handle is made to look like ivory but is more likely a man made material like celluloid.

More about that here

You were right Paul, the handle is celluloid.

Ivoroid they called it. I'm so glad you said Montague, Mark. I've been pondering an unmarked 80 yd. hard rubber reel with the same handle and spool caps.

It might have even been made by "Standard"

It is definitely a Montague.
