Is this a correct ID? Heres the catalog entry and some pictures let me know what you think, Is it the same? The dimensions match.

Yo Young Guy-That is correct ID. This reel eventually (1915) became the Portage Seminole. The click button and crank knob suggests it is very early. Your reel actually dates to 1900, the first year Pflueger listed reels for sale, and appears in that year's catalog. Bad Bob

Thank you i figured it was early after seeing the style on the clicker. It does look alot like a seminole acually. setting them side by side they look very close except the style. The reel is acually in better shape than it looks in the pictures, just a tad of corosion on the spool and a tad of brassing on the tailplate but otherwise its perfect the clicker even works well.
