I have a G&Y reel that looks like an Avon Royal Supreme, but has no "IDENTIFICATION DISC" on the back plate.
The drum is 4.25 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches in width.
Gold in colour, with red handles and red centre spindle cover secured with two screws.
The shoe is screwed onto the back plate.
On the edge of the backplate is a lever to engage/dis-engage the ratchet.
There is no line guard and no provision for fitting one.
On the backplate:- Grice & Young Ltd., Christchurch, Hants, England.
A red "tear drop" shaped lever for various "drag" settings.
Inside:- G&Y. C/CH 172/2. Red plastic "star" WICK OILER. Patents Pending. Spare Pawl.
Any info re model/date of manufacture and the company would be welcome.

Looks like a Royal Avon Supreme to me, the I'd disc has just fallen off. As for the line guard screws?

With those handles it looks more like a Seajecta. Can you post a picture taken from the side.
If you have no grease with you, and your rings are full of ice, do not cut out the ice with a pen-knife but get your man to put the rings one by one in his mouth, and so to thaw the ice.

Re: Help ID this Grice & Young reel please
Certainly a Seajecta and definitely not an ARS. It’s a late one because of the central boss and break lever but I don’t know which Mark it is specifically.

Re: Help ID this Grice & Young reel please
Seajecta it appears to be. With "Hants" being the location of Christchurch, I am correct in thinking this reel pre dates 1974?

Re: Help ID this Grice & Young reel please
I would like to see a pic of the spools back flange as the drag disc should stay in place on the spindle when removed. Well it does on my Deluxe’s
