Brian - the old fishing reel I have, pictured on post 3, is as follows:
Fishing Reel, 4 inches diameter, alloy, complete with wooden handles, and locking device on the side with the handles; brass fitting . On reverse side, "W.F. HOMER, MAKER, FOREST GATE, LONDON" in a circle, below which is: "FLICK-EM".
I have also had one or two old wooden reels which I sold on e-bay some time ago.
