Re: Reel ID help
After I remember what you call this type of reel (center pin) a google search shows two for sale. But no name is listed as to who made it.

Re: Reel ID help
it's very similar to the wooden Scarborough centrepin reels that go back to the 1880s, but I think it's made from phenolic, and probably early postwar.
It's not going to rate with a reel like a Dowling, and the kind of entry-level reel that might be made by Lee tackle.
Value is modest.

Re: Reel ID help
Phillips head screws were patented in 1932. So, if the handle screws are original, the reel is likely from the 1930's or later.
