NEED HELP IN REEL IDENTIFICATION PLEASE

Post by thevirge »

Hello,

I have quite a collection of reels and a lot of antique reel books (I don't have the one for this reel :cry: )

Was wondering if anyone knows what this reel is? Picked it up at a fishing swap meet. Handle is wood and the only marking on it is the number 40 on bottom of reel seat. In fairly decent condition. By it's size I'm wondering an old early 1900's ice fishing reel?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
