Hi Tony

Hi Tony,

Miles Bay was one of the trade names of the Western Auto Company (along with Red River, Revelation, etc.). Many of these Western Auto reels were made by Bronson, Ocean City, and Great Lakes (yours is a Bronson made reel).

You can always tell a Western Auto trade reel as the catalog code is printed on the reel beginning with the letter "V".

The value of most Western Auto reels is around $8-$15 (double in the box).

Cheers,

Dr. Todd
