 :)    It`s funny to think that a new reel is only 12 - 25 dollars ,but back than the average man`s salary was about 60 dollars a week .
    A person had to save for a couple months to buy his new pride and joy..       Than had to save more to have it hot rodded ...
   
    Where is Sherlock Homes  ,WE need some help to solve the mystery ....
    I guess you can`t back track you`r reel either .    I know my father  picks up rods and reels from yard sales , most are from Snow birds ..      I am still working on him  "Think man think"         I say this jokingly be cause that`s all i herd  growing up...

  My best guess is this going to be a shop in New York did the work .    Sadly the people that may know more are not on the internet , you can`t get my father near a computer.    Looks like old school information hunting " Verbal   Communication "        joe

Hopefully, with the opening up of this subject -- someone will be able to uncover the story behind the device, Joe --

We have a good network of folks to help in this search.

My plate is full right now --  however I am confident the information will surface.

New information will come to light.

Best,
