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.
