I was given this fly fishing reel by a customer and just wanted to know if anyone knows anything about it?! I have searched the web and have found nothing
about this reel. I tried to post a pic of it and somehow I can't figure it out. I do have 4 pics of it though.

This is probably an Ocean City #77 or #76.
The 77 is about 3 1/2" and the 76 is about 3". If you search the forum for Ocean City #77, you should be able to find pictures to compare to yours. It's a great working class reel. Not elegant or fancy, but they work great, and a lot of guys like them. They look decent on a bamboo rod, especially one with nickle silve reelseat. They can usually be had in online auctions for 10-$25. best, Jim |

not
I don't know what reel might be a Model 1, but it's not an OC 76 1951 Ward's catalog  
the rods are never obsolete - the marketing is.

If anyone has an email I would gladly send pics so that they may be posted on here. I have tried many times to post them in the forum but my pc isnt allowing
me to do so. I have 4 pics of this reel.

Leefam emailed me a pic, and I can report that it's a bait-casting reel. I can't seem to post pics of it. But you can see its twin at:
