Assuming this is the correct forum for reel IDs, is this a Montague with a nicely fabricated replacement brass foot, in what appears to be EVH style and possibly replaced crank/grasp?
Appears solid NS and is a 60yd size. Thoughts, added pics?
Thanks.

Re: Frankenreel ID
My guess is an 80-yd 4Bros Delite with a foot replacement.
Centers were likely common, so swapping feet may not be difficult.
this is a 60-yd
I think the frame bands are plated brass.

Yes, it's definitely a Pflueger handle. The foot looks like Vom Hofe. Quite nice for a frankenreel.
