Hello all I am trying to identify another reel. Please let me know what you think it is. Any help would be great.

Without a close-up of foot not positive but looks like an early (pre-1905) Pflueger. That style knob is very early.

Didn’t up-load pics. Sorry. Definitely Pflueger foot.

Let me know what picture would be better for me to show to help identify it. I will take that pic.

I think Bob is pretty sure using the pics he has and he is a Pflueger expert. However, the pic that is diagnostic for most all the small reels we run into includes a good look at the bottom of the foot. Most makers used particular foot designs and so it's usually a dead giveaway. You would set the reel on edge, with bottom of the foot facing the camera; i.e., about the only shot that didn't get!

Hope this help

It’s a Pflueger, seems to be a 25 yd. size. The knob dates it to 1900-1904. About as old as Pflueger reels get. The hole in the foot was drilled by owner.

Thanks Bob, hopefully the hole does not impact the value to much

Why are you calling the reel a “#2” in the thread title? Small, unmarked, raised pillar, single action reels like that are usually referred to by the yards of line they hold. Is that reel marked “No. 2?” If so it would be worth posting a photo of that marking.

Thanks

He had two reels that needed an ID, in two different threads. He just referred to them as Reel#1 and Reel#2 to avoid confusion.
