Brass reel info. wanted

[Skinboy]

Hi,I just bought this reel reel today and know nothing about this type of reel.Can anyone offer any information on it and if it has any value?




No name or marks inside or out. Thanks John
The reel diameter is 2 1/2"

It’s a platewind reel probably circa 1890. Worth very little I,m afraid as there are loads of them around.If it was a named one then that would be different.

Thanks Roachy,not the sort of thing I usually buy but it was very cheap so nothing lost.It's a nice thing to have anyway!

That's a nice one and really should be worth at least £20.
