ID help needed for these reels

Post by Paul M »

Someone contacted me looking for ID help but I have never seen these before.




Apparently the object marked Veeder is a counter. That is the only maker mark.

Paul....Interesting stuff there. This might help "a little";

And then there was a fishing reel attached to the counter.....

Can't tell you what the reel is except that it's for larger game. But it looks to be the same as the one you're searching. Nice value.
