I'm inclined to agree with 277.
May just be the lighting but the paint on the body seems very pale.

https://alantani.com/index.php?topic=25901.0 for more info.

EDIT: The text cast into the foot is different on yours to most of the examples I can find online, saying simply HEDDON rather than Daisy-Heddon, which suggests it may be a pre-1959 reel as that's when Daisy bought Heddon, as far as I can ascertain.

Hopefully Foakes or Midway Tommy will be along shortly with definitive answers for you  :d

I could not find an example that didn't say Daisy/Heddon either. I know the company changed hands a few times over the years. Most appreciate the help.

Looks like a 277 to me the way the side plate name plate recess and raised ridge is cast.
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)
