Steve has a photo of one in his book. Below are some photos of the reel in the 1904 Hendryx Catalog and the first page of Funk's patent.

Ron, sorry to take this off-topic a bit but speaking of interesting names. I saw in the newspaper this morning a guy who's name was Tom Yawn. Can you imagine him leading a seminar on anything except sleep disorders?

Either name would be hard to survive through High School with.

I used to know a preacher whose name was Ivan Odor. I think his brother was Bill and Bill's wife was Iva Odor.
Collect mostly Ky style reels; Meek, Heddon, Horton, Pflueger Redifor and Worth, etc.

You can make fun of his name till the cows come home, but Ed Funk did his best to rid the world of undesirable secretions.
