who made me

[dder]

The hole pattern post got me thinking of a game we could play, post a picture of a spool face and then see who can name the maker of said reel, might be fun, might seem stupid but will give it a go anyway. think we all enjoy the pictures so anyone that wants to offer a guess or post some reels for us to try and Identify jump in. Heres couple to start.

Top reel is an Allcocks "Kennet". Aluminium alloy frame with a "shock proof bakelite drum". Offered with or without square line guard.

Here's a couple more:

Steeliefool's reel on the right was made by Bicycle

[dder]

Right you are steelie. I,m stumped by your 2 reels.The one I posted first has the square line guide as you mentioned.

[steeliefool]

Both are American made from the same maker and NUCA got one letter of the maker's name correct.
Wink, wink, nod, nod!

[dder]

heres another pic of a fly reel and float,center pin from same maker, made in Canada for a clue.

[steeliefool]

Islander?

[Brian K. Shaffer]

Those are Thomas Cemm reels - wow!
Never fail to impress

Brian's was made by Olympic for NBC

Brian's was made by Olympic for NBC

I hope you and I aren’t the only one’s who see what you did there:)

[dder]

Not Islander, sadlyI don,t own one from them . Brian is correct Thos Cemm, Vancouver BC.

from the clues I,ll take a guess at Steelies 2 reels, could it be National Bicycle Company? I can see a peacock in pic Brian posted but not a card player so that went over my head.

[dder]

heres a pair from same maker, 3 1/4 and 4 1/2 to replace those identified already.

[TytLynz2U2]

here’s one…

[steeliefool]

My two are Bronson made, a "Union Jack" on the left and a "Four Aces" on the right.

[SpringCreek]

here’s one…

J. Austin Forbes "Thistle"

[TytLynz2U2]

here’s one…

J. Austin Forbes "Thistle"

Spring has rightly named one of the two correct answers to this one. Nice work Spring!
And the second correct answer is…?

[JoeBolt]

I dunno Tyt, but that is one beautiful reel!
I'd name it the Gobsmacker

[dder]

that Austin Forbes is beauty , I don,t know name, just now figured out the NBC joke(peacock) and saw the 4 suits of cards on Steelies reel. I,m old and slow and some times I fall down ,but eventually I get it. You young whipper snappers. good on you. Daryl

dder,

You posted 2 reels that got my attention. I have been wanting to know the maker of this reel for some time. Looks very similar so figured I'd post. At first I thought mine was some type of ocean city product but too good a build
