Thanks in advance

Mike, nice work.
There were also:
Magpie Surf
The Model Sea Reel
Bandbrake Sea Reel

and there was also a "Tarpon Outfit" (which they were offered to buy back a few years ago and said "No"! - they now regret that action) - (I don't know what the reel looks like)

Cheers Brian.
Also noticed that one of my reels is stamped "Westley Richards London"I have reels with"Birmingham & London" stamped but only the one with "London "only.Strange, as I thought Birmingham was the main factory/head office.Any more London only reels out there?

Speedia?

Urban myth Richard.
I doubt "W.R. London" had anything to do with Westley Richards.

Mike, I've not seen the London address badge.
Their Bond Street shop, with the legendary "Bishop of Bond St.", William Bishop, was their upmarket retail outlet.

Very interesting thread; a reel I've never heard of before. If I may request another photo, what do the 'innards' look like?
