I thought that Grice and Young reel owners might find this of interest.
I'm not sure how many reels are missing from the list though. The only one I know for certain is the "Jecta popular." I'm assuming that the "Crown" came later (??) There must be some early "Royal's" missing, in addition to the all the other reels that came before those with Roman numerals.
Reels were quite expensive, given that the average Monthly wage was about £70 for a man. Must have concentrated the mind when the nose was glued to the window! I wonder how many men justified buying a sea reel on the grounds that they would be feeding the family for free after this "small investment?"
