You didn't say, so gotta assume it's fora fishin reel. Need some hints. Is it offa American product or foreign?
Kinda looks like it could somehow function as part ofa spool/shaft oscillating device.
Fishing tackle is an art form and all fish caught on the right tackle are"Gfish"!

I think Joe probably has the answer — but we will wait until later tonight to see if anyone else figures it out.

It is for a fishing reel.

It is not made in the US.

It is a 64 year old NOS part.

OK, Guys —

Joe knows what this is for sure, as do Sal and Tommy, most likely...

The year was 1954...the war had been over for nearly 10 years.  The D.A.M. Factory had been destroyed by Allied air raids.  After rebuilding again under Allied permission and approvals, DQ had restarted production a few years previously of their Standard reel (SW68 aka a Standard, and a 250 a little later).  The name SW68 came from the regulations and restrictions put on West German manufacturers after the war.  In order to simplify export of their reels, they named the old Standard "S.W. 68".  This denoted the area the factory was permitted to operate in — the Southwest Quadrant of the country, Area 68.

The 68 was a small reel, not suited for anglers in the salt — or for the giant Carp in European rivers and canals.  Plus a new market was available in the US — and the returning soldiers with families, a house, a car, and a steady job — had a few more bucks for outdoor recreation.

D.A.M. designed this large reel — which came out a year prior to the large old green 270 we know a little better.  

This first large Super incorporated a geared line counter.  Meters in Europe, yards in the US.

The engineering is bullet-proof, dead simple and capable, and well designed.

Nice piece of history — just a few embers rekindled from the ashes of my memories, after I found a few of these mechanisms in the back of some of the old parts bins.

Best,

Fred

I was quiet ,
I didn't want to spoil y'alls fun.
It still amazes me how the Supers are built.
Fred you know I don't baby mine, I fish them all hard .
Waist deep in the BigPond is just a normal day......

There is nothing like lying flat on your back on the deck, alone except for the helmsman aft at the wheel, silence except for the lapping of the sea against the side of the ship. At that time you can be equal to Ulysses and brother to him.

I though it was from a super, but I was looking at 275 schematics.
Now I need a line counter model.
