SS California Reel

Post by Capt. Cdory »







I am a rookie new member. I recently acquired the reel in the photos. I have no clue to it's origin, make other than it is imprinted with cursive "California" and has a large leather thumb drag.

Thanks in advance for your time and assistance.

Regards,

Gary
