MARTIN FLY REEL

Post by A. WILLIS »

I HAVE AN OLD AUTOMATIC MARTIN FLY REEL, MARKED WITH PATENT NO. 2-175-756 AND 2-301-732. ALSO MARKED WITH MOHAWK, N.Y. AND A SMALL NO 02 ON THE OUTSIDE PERIMETER OF THE REEL. MOST OF THE ONES I HAVE SEEN ARE GREEN, MINE IS DARK RED. CAN SOME OF YOU PROS TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THIS REEL? APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN OFFER. I HAVE PHOTOS IF ANYONE WANTS TO SEE IT.

It has the 1939 and 1942 patents on it. If I am reading from the book right. Looks like it was still being made in sizes 1-5.
