This reel came out of New York with the name One Line to it, but it is a Fre-Line reel. Most Fre-Line reels I've seen are red and the line comes out of the side of the reel, but this one comes out the front. The only markings on the front cover are "Fre-Line" and markings on the back of the reel are "Fre-Line" and "Trade Mark". There is no model number on the reel. The nut holding the handle in place I'm sure is not the right one, but I'm pretty sure the handle is correct. A friend told me the Fre-Line was manufactured in Boulder, Colorado. If anyone can pass any information on about this reel I would very much appreciate it. Thank You......

Thanks BELLIN68.
Have fond memories of this reel. It was one of my first reels. Given to me my one of my dear friends who caught his hare of trout with it on the western slopes of Colorado near Salida.
They don't make them like that one anymore.
