Martin, were you ever able to find out any info on the Silver Strike level wind reel, I also have one except mine has the jeweled end cap on both sides. If anyone has any info on the reel please post it.

Made by the Shakespeare Co. (or Kalamazoo Tackle) during the 1930's, I believe for Shapleigh Hardware of St. Louis.
