John the guy I work with got this old reel at an Estate sale this weekend. The paper work in the box says it the "LL" spinning reel. Nothing found in the computer to verify what it is.
I found in Thea.com listing a real similar but different color for sale for $92.50. It said it was a Martin ?? Anyone ever seen this and know anything about it? No name, marking or numbers on the reel. Thanks!

Do you think that's the original color? I wonder if it had been repainted and that covered up some info .
Nice looking old reel
Cool looking find!

I'd bet it was a Mitchell, probably a repaint
It was in original box and no it is to perfect for repaint job. There are no marking engraved or printed. I thought of Garcia at first but not sure after looking at old pictures of Mitchells and Garcia's. We going to keep looking and hope we get a name brand. John said he ought to put it Ebay and auction it off. I told him no don't. He don't know what he has! If you'll see some ting out there about it holler if you can!
Going to be interesting to find. I have tried several image searches and find nothing to match.
Here is a site you might try contacting

Yeah I've been doing some research but have yet to find anything. Unique little gem you might have. :dono
I have yet to see anything with that double reel foot for lack of words.
i know exactly what it is it`s A FISHIN REEL made to fish with :Doh: :biggrin:biggrin
But you can't! It belong to John Hammett. I offered $20 and he laughed.:banghead
go back and offer him 10$ and tell him if he don't take it you gonna buy you a new one :biggrin

Yes it may have been repainted and covering up the name. Just glad I could help John find some info. :highfive
Looks like it to me. Tell him Ill go $25.00 on it.
Sure looks the same. Must be pretty rare. Be a cool piece to hang onto.
VINTAGE MARTIN SPINNING reel, precision Mohawk No. 27A - $23.35 | PicClick Here’s an old listing for same reel.
Well it seams it may not be repainted after all. I zoomed the picture up 700% and this one has no markings on the side either. Thanks Ink, I appreciate the picture and value. I'll tell Hammett to keep his find, it may bring his grandkids some extra dough sometime later in life! He got it for $5 bucks, so it is worth his money to hang on to it.
Big thanks to everyone that took time to help find the answer. :biggrin
I would gently try to take off the side with the 3 screws. It may have been flipped and the writing may be on the inside.
LL Bean maybe ? :dono
Good point. :ThumbsUpQuote:
