I don't know Fred but its old and well made ???
:) Yes i can ,..
I'm with Keith.
It is old and well made.
That is all I got. ::)
Tell us Joe.
You didn't say, so gotta assume it's fora fishin reel. Need some hints. Is it offa American product or foreign?
Kinda looks like it could somehow function as part ofa spool/shaft oscillating device.
I think Joe probably has the answer — but we will wait until later tonight to see if anyone else figures it out.
It is for a fishing reel.
It is not made in the US.
It is a 64 year old NOS part.

Woohoo!!! PM sent with my address!!
OK, Guys —
Joe knows what this is for sure, as do Sal and Tommy, most likely...
The year was 1954...the war had been over for nearly 10 years. The D.A.M. Factory had been destroyed by Allied air raids. After rebuilding again under Allied permission and approvals, DQ had restarted production a few years previously of their Standard reel (SW68 aka a Standard, and a 250 a little later). The name SW68 came from the regulations and restrictions put on West German manufacturers after the war. In order to simplify export of their reels, they named the old Standard "S.W. 68". This denoted the area the factory was permitted to operate in — the Southwest Quadrant of the country, Area 68.
The 68 was a small reel, not suited for anglers in the salt — or for the giant Carp in European rivers and canals. Plus a new market was available in the US — and the returning soldiers with families, a house, a car, and a steady job — had a few more bucks for outdoor recreation.
D.A.M. designed this large reel — which came out a year prior to the large old green 270 we know a little better.
This first large Super incorporated a geared line counter. Meters in Europe, yards in the US.
The engineering is bullet-proof, dead simple and capable, and well designed.
Nice piece of history — just a few embers rekindled from the ashes of my memories, after I found a few of these mechanisms in the back of some of the old parts bins.

Fred
;) I know you put the penny in there for size reference , but though it was a give away for the meter / yards disk... joe
I was quiet ,
I didn't want to spoil y'alls fun.
It still amazes me how the Supers are built.
Fred you know I don't baby mine, I fish them all hard .
Waist deep in the BigPond is just a normal day......
All 3 still going strong after all these years .
I though it was from a super, but I was looking at 275 schematics.
Now I need a line counter model.
There are several models that came with : Quick-o-mat

What were they making during the war? Singer Sewing Machine factories in the US supplied the American forces with Norden bomb sights and M1 Carbine rifle receivers, while factories in Germany provided their armed forces with weapons.

As far as I know, only (2) models are available with a line counter gizmo. While being the same in principle — they are both completely different.
The Quick Standard 260 or SW68 (same basic reel) and the 1954 early Super 270.
I serviced and restored Roland's 260 a few years ago. It needed some new parts that I had, so he sent it over from the Netherlands.

Fred
