Albens (Paris) small brass reel

[Mike N]

I just bought my first French reel for $16 including shipping. Anyone know anything about this maker/retailer?

“As to the letters around the name 'Albens', on my reel there is an M on the left and a D on the right. I think that could be the French for 'marque deposee' or, trade mark.”
