Nice! You don't come across those kinds of finds very often. Congratulations!
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Got a spare reel stamped "Pflueger" or a Montague Imperial?

Merit-Stalder reels seem to be one of those reels that is so unsuccessful that they are usually found by today's collectors in the box with papers. Of the four I've owned 3 were in box. They are a very interesting collectible. See the Reel News, Sept 2002, p 16.
If we concentrated on the really important things in life there would be a shortage of fishing tackle
