Can you ID this neat brass fly reel?

Post by Richard Lodge »

This fixed click fly reel is 3 1/4" in diameter and about 1 1/8" across the pillars. It's engraved on the back with the name of a man who was a founder of the Montreal Golf Club (David D. Sidey). I know quite a bit about the man but can't figure out who made the reel. Any ideas? Thanks for your help!
Richard

(Meant to add that the foot is attached with two iron or steel rivets)

Richard- that is one of the coolest owner engravings I’ve seen in a while. I really like that reel
