Maker???

Post by klonder »

Looking to determine the maker of this little 25 yd, brass raised pillar, fixed check, single action reel. I would think the foot is the tell here. I've seen the foot in Chubb catalogues but not on the the simple, single action, "peened post"(no screws) least expensive offerings. The reel is of good quality and not the hendrix style stamped thin brass.
