Anyone Know this Reel? Marked Bully 300A

Post by Teal »

I collect Fox Gun Co. and Ocean City Fox Co. reels. Bought one off the internet last week I have never heard of before. It's marked "Bully 300A" on the face plate. No other markings. Clearly a Fox Co. reel, but has anyone heard of this model? I'm assuming it is a trade reel but have never seen this marking before. Anyone seen one?

These were sold through Horrocks-Ibbotson's 1932 catalog, and likely other years, as well. Don't know if they were the only distributor.
