How old is it?

My father gave me this reel about 1984 - it was used then. We went fishing on a Florida reef/drift boat one day and I said I liked it.......... he gave it to me the next day.

They started being made before world war 2. Maybe about 1940. I doubt it is this old. Most likely it's from the 70's.

I believe they were discontinued in the early 2000's, not sure which year.
