Need help with info on clamp reel
I'm thinking about putting together a display for the September ORCA National in Frankfort. I know I've seen information about this little clamp reel at some point but can't come up with it. I seem to recall it was made by Pflueger but wanted input from folks on the board. The number 25 is stamped on the lower part of the clamp. I also have one stamped 40.
Would also love a good scan of a catalog cut and description of this reel if anyone has that, so I could include it with the display. Thanks!

Richard, for what its worth, here is the non-clamp version of the Pflueger reel. They are enough different that I think yours is likely a different maker?

This is a hendryx that i sold awhile back. Its got both normal stand and clamp and the stand is marked Hendryx on top, in typical fashion. This one looks a bit more like yours, i think:

That graphic will work fine, Steve, and thanks for posting it. Thanks for your info as well, John. IMHO, the clamp Hendryx you sold wasn't really a clamp reel to begin with, John. It looks like a Hendryx with a regular foot to which someone soldered a circle "clamp".
