Arthur Walker New York Reel Maker

I am just about to finish an article on Walker and was wondering if anyone had a catalogue by the company or a list of models made by him and his company.
I have some informationon on his reels during the 1970's but I am lacking information on the 1940-1970 period.
I need to verify A.J. Campell's statement on the M/3 Midge reel page 127 of his book.
Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks Dean.

Anyone have any Walker reels or pictures of them. All of mine have the same oil cap, trying to find differences.

Hi Dean many thanks for the info it arrived today.
I have the 1976 info and will send you a great copy of that and the 1975 one as I have the originals. Can you accept scaned pictures?
