Who Made Me??? Spinning Reel
Here is one for you "reel" spinning reel guys from a closet spinning reel collector. This amazingly well made reel has no markings, does anyone recognize the maker?

I believe it’s the reel Arnold used in ‘Terminator 2’ - the famous deleted scene.
you can tune a piano,but you can't tuna fish.

Re: Who Made Me??? Spinning Reel
Never seen anything quite like it, Ed. It's an interesting example. It appears to be post '54ish with that full bail and the line guide looks to be an early Mitchell style knockoff. The rotor has J.W. Youngesque ribbing. Has the foot/stem connection been repaired or was it built with that area beefed up? A good look at the innards might give a few clues but I'm thinking it's either a custom made one off or it came out of the "Eastern Block" vicinity/region.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)
