Empire City Reel

[mercman]

I will get a picture up later on.I have an old, very small, reel that i discovered in one of Dads old tackle boxes. It was in a hidden compartment in the bottom of the box.The box belonged to his father, my grandfather. Its a nickel plated reel with an ivory handle. It has Empire City on one side, and the number 40, stamped in the reel mount.

Any idea of age, or country of origin?

Paul, where is the brand stamped? Is it on the foot of the reel or on the reel itself?

[mercman]

The brand name is stamped on the end of the real, the 40 is stamped under the reel seat
