William Dann & Coin Reels

Post by Stef Duma »

As some of you may be aware, I am in the process of the final part of the history of Nottingham tackle makers.

I am looking to find a few more reels.

First, William Dann, I do know of at least one reel in the USA with his maker's details similar to the one below.

Secondly, the Coin reels again similar to the one below.

Any information would be appreciated.

Here's my Nightingale coin reel, made with Australian coins with the one date of 1912 visible. Several similarities to your reel, Stefan, but some notable differences in the center coin and how it is attached. My reel is 4" in diameter.
