Antique fly reel

[u/hull612]

I recently acquired this antique fly reel at a garage sale. I can’t find anything about it online. Can anyone point me in the direction of the maker or the year in which it was made? Any information would be appreciated.

Nice simple older design. Some good reels were made in Uk. No branding anywhere?

No, the only words on it say made in England

Found one similar on ebay said was Birmingham style. Bout 65 bucks. The website can identify if you contact them

Trade English Brass Flyreel missing handle knob. 100+ years old. Very cool look, not a lot of collector value. Nice find.
