I picked up a nice Kiest Reel this weekend. I am trying to find paper that went into tin and date the reel.Image

Robert,

Henry Kiest of Knox, IN received a patent for his reel (below) on July 26, 1921. The ORCA on-line library has a circa. 1930 Kiest catalog and paperwork for The Kiest Aluminum Casting Reel.
