Morrison Superfine Reel

I'm new to this forum, and curious to know if anyone else has or heard of the Morrison Superfine Reel, made by the Madison Kipp Co in Madison, Wisconsin. I would like to show pictures but haven't figured out how to upload them.

Hi Dick,
Welcome and I'm sure you can find some help here. For pictures, ORCA has made some space available for uploading photos if you don't have a host that you already use. Take a look at this thread for instructions:

Look forward to seeing your reel!

Here is Dick's reel and the note he sent me:

Attached are photos of the Morrison Superfine Reel made by the Madison
Kipp Co of Madison. Note that on the picture of the web portion of the
foot the number 6 etched on it. I have a letter from the company about
these reels. Madison Kipp made up a very few of these in the tool room.
The problem was that by the time they were finished, they would cost them
a few hundred dollars each, so they were not economical to produce. It is
a very well made reel, with an unusual level wind system. I haven't
determined whether the level wind shaft is of their make, or someone
else's part. My guess is that it is of an other make. The square housiing
is definitey theirs.
