Nice reel. Two corrections to your description, the side plates of this reel are not made from hard rubber, they are made from Condensite, which is a synthetic product similar but different than Bakelite and the handle nut may fit the threads but is not an original style;

This is an original handle nut.

Thank you for your input.
Apparently there is more than one Ocean City Dover Club reel with the style handle nut on the reel that I have pictured. See:

Ray,

I think you answered your own comment w/ the link. None appear to have an acorn handle nut, unless I'm missing something somewhere.

Tom,
You are correct. The hex nut in the link, upon closer inspection, has a flat top while the hex nut on my reel has a domed top or acorn shaped. It is never the less an Ocean City nut.
