interesting old closed face reel

[arcalis]

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 )

and its a old spincast reel

[chavender]

arcalis ,its a old spincast reel from maybe as far back as the fifties ,they're used on bait casting rods with the reel sitting on top of the rod ,the white button on the back will be the line release which you press with your thumb whilst casting (it might have a piece missing ,a plunger that fits onto the white button) the little lever will probably be a anti-reverse / spool lock .the drag is a star type drag on the handle .
