Plate reads "FLORIDA FISHING TACKLE MFG CO INC, BARRACUDA BRAND, ST. PETERSBURG FLORIDA USA"
I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER MARKINGS, BUT ED PRITCHARD SAYS IT'S DEFINITELY OCEAN CITY ORIGIN. COMMENTS WELCOME.

Norm,

Don't recall the model Barracuda as a name Ocean City used on their own brand . They often had new names for their trade reels. The end caps and handle nut should help ID the approx. year and the design should match something in the catalogs. I'll have to check later. Memory says the click button looks the same as an OC ocean side 107.
