I've been told that each reel has a serial number somewhere on it. Is there a guide as to where to look for different brands? Or can someone point me in the right direction?
i have seen serial numbers on accurates, avet, some okumas, some penns and some shimanos. only the higher end reels. never did ever see a list. likely only the manufacturers would know.
Great thanks maybe I can contact some of the manufacturers and get more details

ABU too.
Older Garcia Mitchell spinning reels have a serial number on the bottom of the reel foot.
Alcedo spinners have serial numbers, and if I remember correctly, a few of the earliest Dam Standards do, too.
Some FinNor , Everol.
