In response to a post on the ORCA Facebook page this weekend, a fellow posted a picture of his brass Meek & Milam No 3 with numbered screw(s?). I suggested he join us. I’ll send him a link to this post.

That's a nice reel. From the angle of the photo, it looks like it has an early Shakespeare knob.

Re: Facebook reels
I don’t know if you can see the related discussion on the Facebook page. Sounds like the fellow might sell for the right price. I suggested he join ORCA and think about doing a trade for something he might prefer. He missed a chance years ago to cash in when he got a decent offer from someone that wanted to buy the reel.
