Handle came in a bunch of fishing stuff. It looks almost new. The holes for the gear shaft are threaded which I have never seen.

Pretty sure that this was a pretty common way of attaching the handle in the 1800's and early 1900's, but that looks like a Delrin handle knob; anyway, it's way too modern for that era in a multitude of ways, but back then I think that was fairly common.

Some Shakespeare reels attached that way.
