For your viewing pleasure, please find a 1950s era Salmo reel, built in Switzerland, marked as a Simpsons-Sears 3333 for Sears' Canadian market. No anti-reverse, nowhere to put it. Stout, simple mechanism.
Simple is nice sometime, but I just godda have a line-roller.
Just goes to show how much AI doesn't know! ;) AI claims the JC Higgins Simpson-Sears spinning reel was made in Japan. ::) That's exactly why I have zero confidence in any/every thing AI. ;)
The handle clearly looks to be a Salmo made handle. It closely resembles most of the handles on Salmo made reels that I have, and others I've seen. :D
