That's a Milbro Marvellus multiplying centrepin.

Now I know where Bagpuss got the idea for the name of the Marvellous Magnificent Mechanical Mouse Organ! :hahaha:

Used to fish at Little Briatin late and the canal at Iver (bloody steep banks there) as well as the pits at West Drayton.....wonderful place if the wind was in the wrong direction and the local glue factory was brewing up!

Yes, got the reel, love it... also a Milbro catapult!!! go's like a bat out of hell with modern black widow tubbing!!!

Ok, back to Traditional. Still have my dads wooden catapult with the date burnt in the handle with a magnifying glass in the sun. 1944.
He used to take it on every fishing trip.
