Good to have you here.  Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

The internals look like Early J.A.Coxe to me .
Will have to do some digging in my stuff to see  .
I KNOW I have a rig like this just not Where it is.
And EARLY Pflueger comes to mind too.
Anybody Else ???

I'dve said OC or Coxe, but that click spring is a new one on me!


Homeboy Hank, welcome! Where in NC are you from, and where did you go? Chances are you drove right by me on 40 or 64 (Raleigh).

Noted, that's gotta be at least 400 miles! It's the same 420 miles to PHILLY, lol! My buddy bought a house on Bath Creek near the mouth where it dumps into Pamlico River to retire to in June. Sweet place! Lemme know if you need jiggy parts; if I have them, I'll send them, N/C.

 After tearing into some of older J.A.Coxe Reels and Bronson's I am going to say your Reel is a Trade Reel probably made by Bronson or their counter part after they Bought J.A.Coxein the 1930's as HE didn't make trade Reels to my knowledge BUT made all the tell tale signs of what your Reel has including but not limited to the way the Sliding frame to   engage the Spool  and it's male to Female in Spool,  the Spool,   Wire Clicker, Star Drag and a few other things .

Nice area around Bath. We are about 20 miles south of your friend. We actually looked at property in the neighborhood when we found this place. It fit all of our needs.
