This is a Montague reel. I have a nice chimney box I am wanting to fill with the correct reel. I will also consider a 60 yard unmarked Montague if all else fails, but it must be a multiplier. There is also one other option, but I'm not real sure this would be correct, but if you have a 60 yd. marked just "Fox Lake". Montague made reels with both markings, but I am not sure if they were made for the same firm or not. Also would appreciate your comments and any feedback/advice on this. Would it be acceptable to have an unmarked 60 in it, even though it is marked Fairview Fox Lake on the box? I feel that it would at least be a filler for the box until I find the branded reel. One more thing I noticed, I put another one of my 60 yd. Montague Trade Reels in it to see how it fit and the handle grasp was a bit too long on that particular model, so if I do go the unmarked route, I will need dimensions of the reel to assure a proper fit. Ideally, I would like the proper marked reel if you have one, but will consider the aforementioned thoughts.
Thank You,

Paul - So far as I know there is no Montague reel marked Fairview or Fairview Fox Lake. There is a Fox Lake reel. It's a round reel all npb, counter balanced handle and a stamped foot pressed on the pillars. It has two oil caps and the click & drag buttons on the back plate. They are somewhat scarce but show up once in a while on ebay.
