Anyways, hoping some of you can give some insight into the time frame of when this reel was made and any other helpful insight. I feel like even if it is a newer reel, it's probably still a decent price including a spare spool?
The frame is made in Fayetteville Ar. ca 1970s from the "DA" mark on the face plate and the spool shown in the reel is older made in Akron Ohio ca1950s from the "Trade Mark" on the latch cover.
The spools interchange with no problems as do most parts. The spool that came with the DA frame would have said "MADE IN USA" on the latch cover and is pictured as the spare spool.
Much info is here

I looked for it Anyone know what happened to it or if the info is repeated somewhere else? It was really well organized.
The ebay poster is Mr Genesee who twice has been a member of this forum, last as mrriver
memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=8392He went ahead and expanded what was on eBay and IIRC asked on this forum and possibly others for a place to publish his info, then later on offered something like a PDF for sale on eBay for a short time. I'd guess one could message him on eBay and ask if he would make that document available again.
