Please help identify spool handle and tackle box.

[Iggy]

Hi,

Thanks for your help in identifying the Orvis 1874 spool that I found in an old tackle box, along with a Pflueger Progress 80 fly reel and a Martin automatic fly reel.

I would like to ask for your help in identifying the tackle box - it has no brand and the metal drawers are marked: "Weirton Steel, IC, 20 lb, Fire door stand". Could this just be a homemade tool box from the early 1900's?

Also - I found a reel handle that is attached - would anybody know what reel this may have belonged to at some point?

Thank you,

Iggy

On second thought, the handle is probably off of an old Shakespeare bait casting reel.
