Thoughts on an old reel please?

[fenton]

Hi,

I have an old reel which carries no makers name or address. The spool is stamped on the inside '2'. It is set up to use right hand wind and has a line guard. I have heard that unmarked reels were often copies made by people who worked for tackle manufacturers.

All thoughts gratefully received.
cheers
Fenton

Could be a Dingley he used to work for Hardy and I'm sure he marked some reels with a 2 or II

I have just noticed AB and 2 stamped inside the reel.
