1955 Heddon Spin Pal 260

[Woodbilly]

Aquired this Heddon Spin Pal with automatic bail awhile back.
I haven't seen one in black with a/r switch before. Only maroon or black with manual pick up.
This one has og box and manual.The box had signature of "Chester Gordon" on top. Any one know of him?
I did complete teardown of reel and it has become one of my favorite for crappie catching! It was missing the tag on side plate, so I added a buffalo nickel. Purists cry, but I did leave all her battle scars present. Lol
