Help with year of manufacture on old reel

[Benson]

My husband found this old rod and reel in storage unit he purchased. I was wondering if anyone knows the year it was manufactured.

I have pictures, but I can't figure out how to post them here.

It is a South Bend and is engraved as follows:

#666
South Bend
FreeCast
Model A

It is on what looks to be the original rod, which had some type of wood handle.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I can help with the picture posting:

I recommend resizing photos down to 500 to 700 pixels wide. This controls how wide they will be on the computer screen. Save them with a new name so you don't erase the high-res originals.

Upload them into your photo server to get a a url. I use photobucket.com.
the url will look like http://...

Copy the url for your photo and paste it in the text box.
Highlight the url for your photo and click on the Img button above.
now the argument for your photo should look like
[img]http://...[/img]

make sure you scroll to the end of the line and hit a return to put a line space between your photos.

also a good idea to hit the preview button before you hit the submit button, so you can how it looks and edit at the same time.

Good luck
