well if you feel that way about it, this is a 3" trout reel stamped R. Heaton Maker, and engraved with Army & Navy Stores, Ltd., London c. 1910
(Recently sold this to the wife of a friend to go with his Christmas cane rod. Somebody else saw this photo and has been asking me to get it back.)

(I think the 4" salmon reel on top was probably also made by Heaton, but it is not marked that way.)
