Unusual Pre WW II mystery fishing reel how to service and help needed to identify the reel

[@williamcruz1569]

Beautiful simple reel! Long way from a cane pole, sinew line, and bone hook. 😀

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Ir sure is. Simple makes things complex! Thanks

My Dad did sewing machine repairs and he loved Super Tech lubricant. He said to spray WD 40 on your finger and rub it and it will eventually dry up where as the Super Tech stays slick. So my opinion is that is is very good.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I will try that. Thanks

Judging by the wooden knob my guess would be Horrocks Ibboson in New York I seen another one of their early Reels with a very similar knob most likely a Trade Reel . That's my 2 cents Dennis.

[@levijones7478]

I think you are at least in the ballpark of being correct about maker. Possibly a knock off.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

THanks - I will check that out

I've seen the pound sterling mark before on a reel made by Penell.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Thank you. I will check further

[@scottgarbs7761]

That is a remarkable reel.

Hi Denise trying to figure things out here lol don't know

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Thanks - I believe Carl found the answer - a Montague Sterling reel!

[@jeffjackson5331]

Another sweet vintage reel

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Thank you! I love working on these older reels!

[@TroyGKennedy]

Don't know anything about the reel, but thanks for shareing.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

I was stumped too, but maybe we can find out together!

[@thomaskass6668]

Dennis that looks like a old pluger interocean clone

[@2ndChanceTackle]

Thanks - I will look into that

[@armandoreyes1891]

Hello Dennis.
From your description of the symbol
looking like the pound sterling mark
its likely a Pennell reel. Its a brand
not a manufacturer. Probably made by Montague in Philadelphia.

[@2ndChanceTackle]

THank you - I will check that out
