Posting a few photos of your reel would help to lessen possible confusion.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Your Shakespeare Service Special is both No.1941 and Model GK (dated 1941).
The 1941 Shakespeare catalog lists Service reels No.’s 1939, 1941, 1942, 1943, 1944, 1945, and 1946 with the No. 1939 being the least expensive of them.
Look closely on the reel foot for a tiny letter stamped in and that will tell when it was made. If none, it was made in 1941.
