Carl Schults had a few of those. I believe Colby might have some that are marked.

Horrocks-Ibbotson sold a couple of those blue anodized models, but they were marked "The Captain" and something else. Somehow, the handle "seems" out of place on this one. Might be a replacement? Unmarked trade reels can be the hardest to ID. This is a tough one.

I think I liked it when I saw it because of the jeweled end caps. Seller said no idea. Total with shipping cost 23.65. Probably paid too much too!

Don't shoot the Newbie here, but the oil caps look like Ocean City. Maybe the crank knobs too. Nice blue color though!

In photo two, is that a Bronson duo-pawl plate holding the pawl in place?

Besides being blind and unable to see and not knowing if I could see. Does this help?

Can't tell for sure. If it is a duo-pawl, it would seem to support the Ocean City (post-Bronson) guess.
