Need help with info on clamp reel
Hello,
I'm new to the site and was scouring the internet trying to get info on a reel I picked up years ago and this thread showed up. So, I joined the site. I am considering loading it on eBay. If anyone here would like to save me the misery of eBay's outrageous fees I would consider offers. (If this is not allowed, let me know). Thanks. -Brian

You would probably do better posting it in the For Sale, Trade, Wanted category.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

It's missing the thumb screw that tightens the clamp, as I'm sure you know. As far as clamp reels go, this (which came marked 40 and 25) is one of the more common ones. A nice little reel for a collection.

Re: Need help with info on clamp reel
As Paul points out, Pflueger sold a reel like this in the early 1900s. So did Hendryx. Similar reels show up in a lot of trade (retailer) catalogs from the mid 1890s to early 1900s. I'm not sure if anybody has done the research to differentiate them or if it is even possible with available info.

For comparison. This version has a riveted foot and it came with a clamp screw but has no yardage mark.
