Pliny Catucci started making reels on his own after the Meisselbach's sold their company. These were called Meisselbach-Catucci reels, and were made in a different factory and my a different company than A. F. Meisselbach & Bro.
These Symploparts were from the initial production of this company, c1922.
Catucci also manufactured these beautiful Symploreel fly reels with agate line guides.
Now class, repeat after me..."Meisselbach-Catucci reels are not Meisselbach reels - they are two different companies"
Pliny Catucci Didn't Do Bad, Himself.
