EDIT! Guys, I don't think it is Alumn. It is much heavy for that. Maybe NS? No marks anywhere.
J.E.,
SHHHHHH! I was hoping to sell it before Milt noticed! Now, he will be comin' to Fla. with one of those thousands of guns he has and hunting me up!
Jack.
Looks very well made to be a Weber and that Criterion is Nickle over brass. Replacing the click button would be tough since the pawl is peened on from the inside. Nice reel anyway. Sorry about the delay but my connection in Cincy wasn't very good to send e-mail.

Dean's correct on the Stuart. It's sort of a knock-off of a Holmes reel which was a knock-off of a Hardy Perfect. Or maybe Holmes and Stuart were knocking off Hardy at the same time. Pretty cool big ol' spool retaining screw, isn't it? If anyone has a box for one of these they want to part with, let me know.
