Mike....very similar to the old trolling reel boxes guys used to make. I think one or two companies actually manufactured and sold some also. Most were made from old Victrola parts. The one you posted seems to have been upgraded maybe, to an automatic "ice fishing / retrieval set-up". Sweet "gadgets".

Rick- it does resemble an ice fishing tip up. Good call.
