Could anyone give me any info about an old closed face reel I have, there is no name on the reel it is made of a nylon type of material, certainly not hand made and very light the gears are crown and pinion it has a gear ratio of 1 turn to 1.75 ...a good 12" of line per turn of the handle.I have made enquiries from collectors but drawn a blank no one has ever seen one before.I will try to enclose pictures ( pretty new to pc ) I would hazard a guess to its age maybe 40 - 60 years old I look forward to any comments or info....thanks for reading ...arcalis ( HELP struggling to send pics )
