Martin Level Wind

Post by clinton_beeler »

I have two martin reels. One is marked "Abercrombie & Fitch Co." "Yellowstone". It's a fly reel and I understand that, but the other is a model 10 level wind. I had no idea that Martin ever made a level-wind. The reels are both in absolutely perfect condition and so give no hint of their ages. Is the level wind a Martin or a "branded" something else? It looks quite a bit like a South Bend (Shakespear) rendered in aluminum. Thanks in advance for your help.

Regards,
Clinton
