    can’t tell for sure but it looks like a pflueger summit. made from early 30’s to early 60’s. Its hard to nail it down any better than that but if you look at the screws that hold the foot to the frame slotted are pre 35, if they look similar to phillips head they are newer.

    I have three similar to that one…an Akron, Summit and Supreme. That looks more like the Summit I have. All three are from 1946 to 1956.
    They are direct drive “knuckle busters” but the Supreme casts amazingly well, even today.

    Early 60s this was my first muskie reel I also had a gold supreme You learned to keep your hand away from the handle, on runs and used your thumb to Brake. Still pull them out once in a while and throw them with a 5ft St,croix fiberglass pool cue.

    Neat reel. I have one brand new in the box. My grandfather won it some how or other. Not sure of the value. Someday I will display all of my old reels and lures, not that I have all that many. Just a tribute to Grandpa, and it should look pretty neat.

    Robby, yopur new in the box reel should be around $50 bucks. an average used one would be about $25
