Then there is the red anodized handle ? Don't know if it is a replacement or custom color for buyer or maybe Grieten had made a few for red reels like you see and had an extra ?? Any body out there have an educated guess ? Or maybe the original was just lost or busted and this one was put in it's place !! Looks pretty cool to me and it has the old style grove for the locking bar to fit in which works perfect. I put line on it because it looks neat to me but the spool is in nice shape. The reel shows use and some scrape marks but has been pretty well cared for considering it's age I am guessing 1938 or 39 but that is a guess. Ed , Butch, Jay , Nick or anybody else who collects Fin-Nor's I hope you chime in with your thoughts !! Thanks for looking !
