When you crank the reel, the spool wobbles so the line goes on evenly, Any Idea who made it and Value?

Re: Help Identifying this reel
La Soie, R.L. 2. from the mid '40s.
It appears to be missing the long coil spring that attaches to the end of the half bail and loads the bail. Ed can probably better explain how the mechanism works, as I've never held one in my hand. I've only seen the one in his photos. The missing spring really hurts the value.

Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Re: Help Identifying this reel
It looks like the mechanism must be very similar to the gyratory reel dissected in this thread:
