US made ?

Post by snoekjaeger »

Here's a reel that has been keeping me awake since I saw it on Ebay.
"Something" made me buy it (...), received it today.
The inscriptions are :
"COLOX LIMOGES"
"3"
"modele depose" (more or less the same as patent applied)
Diameter is 5,7 cm, weighs 150 grams
Now, I have a lot of information on French reels, but can't find anything on this one, not even a look-a-like. Limoges is a city in France, better known for it's porselain
So I'm beginning to think is was made in the USA for the French market, but that's just guessing...
Any ideas ?
