Jesse,
That reel is a model 1810. It is not a push button reel. It hangs from the bottom of the rod like a spinning reel. To cast, you grab the line with your finger and turn the crank backwards about a quarter turn. This releases the line, then you make your cast. I have my Fathers and my Grandfathers model 1810's. Great old reels.
