Looks like it could be an OTCO (Ohio Tool Company) 6/0.
They're super rare.
Can't say with any certainty, as I've only ever seen 'em in pictures.
They're cracker reels and you'd be very fortunate if that's what it turns out to be.
Here's a bit of info from ORCA:
Good luck, Justin

thank you so much can you help me with specs on it line capacity and anything else?

Thanks for your PM, but no. Use the forum; that's what it is here for. Yours looks like a 50-sized reel. Google. Learn.
