There are no makers marks, only mark is a "250" on the reel foot.  Hard rubber plates, one button for clicker and one for the metal spool brake.  There are spool tensioners on both plates.

No, but if it is cheap enough it looks like it could be a fun restoration project.

Looks a little like a Pennel or Montague.. just guessing.

I got this one and a nice 155 with aluminum spool for $10 so I guess it's cheap enough.  😀

Thanks for pointing a direction.  It looks like pictures of a Montague just haven't found a picture with the clicker and spool brake knobs.  No idea what it's worth but it looked cool so I may clean it up and try fishing it just to try.

I have a small unmarked 80 yd baitcasting reel with the same clicker spring and clicker spring mounting, same casting drag, same clicker and casting drag buttons on the tail plate, same hard rubber plates, etc.  Mine also looks very similar to a reel discussed here:

... and the consensus was Montague over there as well.

Don't have a pic of this particular reel, but It does look like a Montague Pennell, early 1900. There are about 5 dozen listed on book, most at around $30-$40.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.
