I've seen a few over the years. Always thought they were Montague.

Scroll down Ron's page a bit to see similar reels: https://www.luresnreels.com/montague.html

Thanks, Dean. I particularly like the narrow screw slot that is the length of the entire handle screw.

This was Montague's reel to replicate the Geo. W. Gayle reel.
