Keyed pinion gear

[klonder]

Anyone recognize this pinion gear design with the pin and slotted gear to fit?
I'd mention the branded reel but don't want sully the opinions.
Thanks for your help.

Steve, hard to make a call due to that “lake” of solder around, suggesting that what it is isn’t what it was!

[klonder]

Yes John, I didn't understand the reason for that and considered it just uncleaned waste from a spinning spool durning the soldering process as I see the same, but a very much cleaner job, under the click gear. I'll post a pic later.
It seemed to me to be a signature, original design as the reel is not of the quality to warrant an after market replacement or a special order.

The other end of the spool arbor looks to be soldered as well.

Here's the reel:

And here's the trade mark on the face plate:

Top arched text "ALLRIGHT", center quil-L logo and bottom straight line text "PENNELL".
I have it ID'd as an 80yd., Enterprise Manuf. Co. No604J, page 171 in the 1907-8 cat., a match it appears to me.
So I'm currently twisting and turning down the Pennell rabbit hole and looking forward to continued discussion/direction.

Steve, i believe your reel was made for Pennel by Montague. They sold reels made by various companies. That method of wedding gear to spindle was common. With other reels, the gear is affixed permanently, probably press-fit.

Folks,

Here are the 2 Pennell U. S. Registered Trademarks.

Folks,

Allready but not Allright.

Tryon had 23 TMs total.

Yes, Tryon claimed use of that trade mark years before the patent date. One cat shows an "ALLRIGHT" illustration, 1913,pg 24. I don't think you can patent a "name" but everybody sure can use it! I've a couple marked "WATERWITCH", with no trade mark, another Tryon reel "name".

[Alan Baracco]

Here is the earliest Tryon Trademark, 1900. The last is in 1955.

Yes, the first sentence of the right hand column under "Statement".
