Help with ID on this reel

Post by Jerry J in OK »

Need some help with ID on this reel. The only markings are on the foot and read 80 YDS, MADE IN USA which is stamped on one end of the foot. Pics are in the URL. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Jerry - Looks like a Union Hardware reel to me.

Ed's right, that's an unmarked Union Hardware reel. They made this one and a top hat style, both with jeweled oil caps. I've seen a few of each (and own one of each). They are found mainly in the Chicago area.
