This reel arrived today, decent shape, but I have never seen this particular style of crank handle on a Bretton. The older ones like this that I have seen previously have a rounded-bullet shaped base, not the flat one on this reel. Not quite sure what the story is, but it seems to work OK.

I belatedly noticed that the metal nameplate is cockeyed in its opening. I don't know if it was sloppy assembly or it fell off and whoever reattached it just slapped it on there.

I know it's gonna bug me, but I don't want to deform the metal plate, it's very thin. I was expecting it to be a foil label but it's actual metal.
