ANSER Semi Backless Sidecast Metal and Wood Fishing Reel made in Australia - c. 1940.
Specifications: Australian red cedar drum (spool) diameter 5 & 1/2 inches, width 2 inches; rolled stainless steel semi-back plate diameter 4 & 1/4 inches; Alvey style optional check mechanism; Ferguson's configuration, side cast turntable; Alvey style tapered bakelite handle knobs and nickel plated brass collets; spring tension spool over-run knob adjustment; cast bronze or brass type turntable back support. Branded (stamped) ANSER on a semi-back plate. The notched spool and brass pin line fixture is possibly an after-market modification. At this time we are somewhat perplexed about who made the ANSER semi-backless side cast. It is more than probable the ANSER maker used some Alvey components, that were readily available as spare parts to produce the reel. We are seeking further accurate information, pertaining to the maker of this rare Australian, semi-backless side-cast fishing reel.
