I thought I'd share some photos of a neat reel I've had for a while and now know considerably more about, thanks to "Rupe'. It is the Young Pattern 2A, Contracted with exposed palming rim...a very neat design. As you can see, it is stamped with the maker's name, but also, its original owner 'engraved' (a euphemism for 'scratched') his name near the maker's mark. "E. White - Oxford". Since I believe that the Young stamp on these early reels usually appeared on export reels, it's interesting that Oxford is scratched on...Maybe it's Oxford, Mississippi! # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Petri heil!

Now I think I know why Graham Turner chose not to address J. W. Young at all! in his book! # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Petri heil!

My non-improved one is 'the Marlbro' Trout Reel'. I like names on reels!!! # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Petri heil!

I also have a pattern 2a similar to Bulldog's photo -- the reel is marked for Gow. (Sorry, no photo as my camera no longer talks to my computer.) Dennis

And I'll shoot a picture of that catalogue page for you. Cheers, Michael # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Petri heil!
