This is the only box that I have come across that matches the trade mark Sterling logo.    I always thought that Sterling reels were made by Montague, but after finding this box I don't think they are.   No mention of Montague Sterling reels in Jellison / Homel.  Mystery to me.   Maybe someone could enlighten me.  Shell not included.

Got a note from a fella that says this is an early Hendryx reel.  I'm not 100% there.  Need an English reel historian.
