Old Spin Cast Reel ID questions Ted Williams?

Post by Yozuri54 »

I would like to get some feedback from the group on the maker logo on this reel. Online research shows it is possibly a Daiwa Japan offering private labled. I have seen Sears Ted Williams models that look very similiar. But that "W" logo with waves underneath has me stumped. Any info would be appreciated, John


By the way, I have read the tutorial on picture upload, but no matter how I do it, the pictures will not show up - anyone have tips on that issue?

Posting a photo would certainly help.

Possibly a Whittemore Scout 44?

They were sold by the Whittemore Corporation in Mass

Not sure who made it, though. Generally you have to do a lot of research and find something close in design from the time frame to compare it to to determine who might have actually manufactured it.
Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Tom,
I think you nailed it....that is the identical emblem on my reel.
Thank you, John
