This may not fit the classic reel form. But I am looking for information. On a a possible European Fly reel. I have found an other made from wood and brass. This one is palm size with no visible crown marks, stamps, manufacture proof marks, etc. I would like information to possible origin of manufacture, date of manufacture, or even value. Really any information would be nice. thanks in advance.

I believe you have a first Shakespeare Burdick - I know the New Burdick was an aluminum tuna-can reel
It would be worth showing and asking on ORCA forum

Correcting this reply, the reel was identified on ORCA as Shakespeare Winner.

ORCA doesn't offer a single post link, but if you check the parallel thread the OP began there, Mark posts the 1921 catalog page.
The page is Trout Reels, and the Winner is listed beside the Featherweight skeleton reel.
In 1921, the word fly reel wasn't used that often, but single action trout reel meant the same thing.
I'm sure you'll never find cane pole reel in print copy.

Thanks to everyone, I learned a lot about this reel and the terms applied to old fishing gear.
