if an Old reel has no markings...

How does one know who made an old fly reel if it has no markings? This is an old click and pawl. Screw closure, Handle gone.

No Markings anywhere on the reel including inside.


Google “Antique Fly Reels” you will find a lot of resources there, there is one for sale very similar except it’s brass.
