You never know what an Internet search will uncover. I assume this is just some home made contraption that makes use of an early EVH fly reel but maybe it’s real? Apparently found near Niagara Falls.

Now that's interesting. You never know what a fisherman will do when he wants to go fishing. These old time fishermen were sometimes great innovators.

Very cool...the reels early no denying that but I believe homemade. There's probably a screw atop the foot for added strength. You can see the foot was taken down... I agree with Ron.
Wanted Ultra rare salt water reels including big game as well as unknown rare surf reels!
