Who is the maker? Looks well made.

my guess would be early John Milner reel internals look similar to hardy's

Well thought out design, looks to be custom machined. love the concept of simplicity of converting left to right
Used a 3 jaw chuck I faintly see the marks in the back of the frame, and I bet an CNC built the frame due to the clean cuts on the reel foot mounts

Reely great job

My neighbour was making them a few years back.
Not sure if he is still building them or not .
I wonder if it is one of his?

I like my clicker knob to be on the front end of my CP reel. To bad this is going to be a one off, I'd like one!  :P
I've grown fond of the simple design and parts of these kinds of reels, used to be big into the casting/ levelwind reels like the Calcutta's but since a friend got me into CP'ing I like the feeling of more of the one to one element and challenge of it.

Nice find, looks as though it has never been used, no sign of use showing on the handles or the foot. I'm jealous ;D
