there were several manufacturers in the 60's.  some of them used more stainless steel, which is why they are still around.  it looks like the bars, star and handle arm are chrome over brass.  hopefully the rings are stainless, but likely not.  maybe polish it up and let's see how it goes.  i would be fun to see how well it cleans up!!!

 Just my educated guess. Your reel looks like an Olympic. It likely had the name on a decal that fell off at some point.

 Browse eBay for Olympic reels and you'll see lotta similarities

I just got an olympic 51 on flea bay 
I honestly didn't think I would win it for $10 , but it will be a great project to tidy up

thanks for the feedback, I will post pictures once it arrives and the cleaning begins

It turned up today
Weighs a tonne different handle knob compared to my Olympic
Very cruddy need of a good swim in sugar soap  then a wash in dishwashing liquid and a rinse in water
It has Japan on the rod foot , that's the only I'd I can find
Will post a picture when it's clean in pieces

Its a Sun Star
I cleaned up were the name tag goes but model number not readable
What penn model would this be from any ideas?

Not a Penn.  It is a Sun Star made in Japan.  Dominick
