The Anglesea was introduced in two sizes in 1938; the model 47 250 yards and the model 48 300 yards. The 48 was only produced for that first year, then disappeared. The 47 was not in the 1941 catalog no 9, so it was only in production for 3 years, '38-'40. It's a hard reel to find. I got lucky a few months ago and picked one up in really great shape. Here she is, for your amusement. I suspect it is not possible to distinguish the year of production in a reel produced in so narrow a range, but if anyone wants to give it a shot, please do. Waffle clicker and yardage stamped on foot may point to this being a first year model, but the handle is plastic, not wood.

Wow Sid!
That is a beauty.
I have all the picture plates except for one. I found it on a Surfmaster 250 over the weekend.

Daron, very nice find! I also love the picture plates, but haven't sat down to figure out which ones I've got and which ones I do not. Are they all documented in the thread on picture plates here http://alantani.com/index.php?topic=12512.0 ?

I agree, Mike, that may be the most beautiful of all the designs I have seen.

Wait, where did that left side plate come from? Is it custom? Looks like SS.
