Need info @Hermos reels

Post by Reelman2 »

I just picked up this reel marked Hermos Reel. On the front rim it says On and Free but there is no hole in the face plate for a freespool mechanism. On the inside of the reel there is a hole where a freespool mechanism would go. Is this a compilation of more than one reel? Is it possible the front plate insert that says Hermos reel has been substituted for perhaps a Montague? The end caps look very Meisselbachish.
Collect mostly Ky style reels; Meek, Heddon, Horton, Pflueger Redifor and Worth, etc.
