... and second? Did you write an article? I work best when given clues or allowed to follow a trail of bread crumbs.

I hope the crumby email helped.

Re: George Hancock reel?
Yes, thanks, Steve. Does anyone have any idea whether one of these reels actually exists? I assume because the demand was .... (cough, cough... ummm... ) less than he might have hoped, there were few produced and sold. Just curious to see a photo of the real reel thing.

I think George borrowed the idea for the reel from his Grandfather, John Hancock. It looks to be the same reel to me
