Identifying a Shakespeare reel from memory... HELP!

Hey guys, I collect old lures and all of that, not much on old reels, but been looking and thinking about buying some...

First on my list is trying to ID a reel my grandfather had given me that I lost in a move I guess, I can't find it now and have no idea where else it would be.

It was a black shakespeare but I think the butt was a little more square and so was the tag... I attached a pic... I may be crazy and it may be something different.. if you have any idea, I really appreciate it...

thanks

Matt

Those reels were made in the 1970's.

These reels came in a box of some kind I suppose? Anyone have an example?
