Flea market find. Resin handle knob and picture side-plate make it a bit rarer than the rest of the Bridge City line. I believe it's circa 1938. This is the 300yd version.

Yours looks the same as this one? I couldn't find any pictures online that had this knob and sideplate. Can you post a pic of yours?

The missing screw was missing due to being broken off inside the post. Thanks to Fred for providing a replacement post!
