Quick is the trademark brand name of DAM spinning reels beginning with their introduction -
- earlier than this post '54 Quick Standard (there was a pre-'54 half-bail)
and this much later Quick Finessa - the numbered XX0 reels were smaller, the Finessa their largest inshore/salmon size
along with a famous range of baitcasters, Quick Champion
Quick Corporation of America was the importer of the reels, and the buyer of US-made rods to sell with the reels
(importing rods was not cost-effective).
DAM was making reels prewar, but the Quick trademark originated with their postwar spinning reels, which made a pretty good splash in the US market (Cabelas sold tons of them from their old catalogs).
Prewar reels were Effzet, phonetic of the initials of the company founder (Fritz Ziegenspeck), Ziegen is the German word for goats, and you can see the goat trademark followed postwar, at least on Quick spare spool cases. Quick also imported Damyl monofilament.
DAM is currently a purveyor of Chinese tackle - I don't recommend visiting the company website, it hasn't been maintained and is infested with malware.
