Here's a sneak peak. It has a 4.5:1 ratio and a 6 element drag system.

Nice looking Heddon spinner.  I've never seen one of those.

Those are from the late Kidde era, mid/late '70's, shortly before Pradco bought Heddon.
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

X2; "it appears to be a well designed reel". Any ball bearings?, what's place of manufacture? Like to see more...

Thanks. It was manufactured out of Japan and can put up some pics tomorrow since I left the reels at work.
