Reel ID help

Can someone tell me who made this 6” beast and a value help? It is for sale just don’t know what to ask.

After I remember what you call this type of reel (center pin) a google search shows two for sale. But no name is listed as to who made it.

it's very similar to the wooden Scarborough centrepin reels that go back to the 1880s, but I think it's made from phenolic, and probably early postwar.
It's not going to rate with a reel like a Dowling, and the kind of entry-level reel that might be made by Lee tackle.
Value is modest.

Phillips head screws were patented in 1932. So, if the handle screws are original, the reel is likely from the 1930's or later.
