ID help please

[klonder]

Looking for a positive ID on this little NS winch. Orrelle's book shows two very similar if not the same reels. One is Leonard(pg64) and the other Chubb(pg59).
Thanks



Edit: Well I thought it was NS!

Is this a solder seam? Is the foot soldered to the crossbridge?

Looks like one piece to me. Better pics:

So nobody will venture a guess at least?
Like spending your time and attention on a chick back in the day and gettin' a peck on the cheek goodnite
What would be the significance of a two piece foot? Pretty sure its not Leonard but could be Chubb?

IMHO, it's one of those "generic" raised-pillar reels that nobody seems to be able to ID with any confidence. I asked about a two-piece foot because that would have been extremely unusual. Chubb, US Net & Twine, and others are possibilities.

I believe I found it!
Chubb Reel No.3 1888

I have since revised my id and now believe it to be a USN&T product. A No. 102-1/2 from the 1880 cat.
