Some more images for you. I believe it is a fly reel, with a thumb adjusted spring drag, and handles on both sides. It's about 3¼" across and ⅞" wide.
The other reel appears to be an 'engineers reel' with single handle and counterweight.

No makers marks at all? Is that a second handle lug on the spool or could it have been the attachment point for a counter ballance? Am I barking up the wrong tree? I'm certainly intrigued by this reel
The central knurled thumb nut applies pressure to a spring which acts as a drag/silent check, as well as being the means of disassembly.
It does not.Rod Fisher wrote: ↑Sat Apr 27, 2024 8:26 pm The reel in Duma's book has an iron pillared drum core and an hourglass barrel within those pillars. Does my reel have the same?
About 3⅜". Still runs pretty well after a drop of oil.
