I believe it is of Czech origin & is a coarse fishing reel. A cheepo Eastern Europe worth not a lot. Could be as early as 1950's. Looks in good condition so you might get a few quid for it but the posted photos are pretty poor so hard to say. See them on E Bay on occasion.
Some info
TOKOZ was established by Jaroslav Josef Rousek in 1930 in Czechoslovakia. The company produced small metal goods such as padlocks and then in the 1930s began making fishing reels and other fishing accesories.
In 1948 after the communist takeover of Czechoslovakia the production values were brought under control of the government and production moved away from fishing and concentrated on padlocks.
The company exists to this day still making padlocks.
