NEED HELP TO IDENIFY A CASTING REEL ON THE SIDE PLATE (The Elite)ON THE REEL SEAT LOOKS 80 OR 8C

80 on the foot is the yardage.

I think it may be a Montague.

Any other description, side plates, end caps, photos?

This is an Expert (60-yd), but does it look like this?

throw in the backplate since it fits in the discussion...

got your e-mail Frank,

here's another Montague trade reel, sold by Abbey & Imbrie. Matches your Elite to a tee.

the reel above is plated brass - this one is nickel silver
