There's a date of 1938 on the hang tag

The spigot ferrules have a perfect fit

William Olson Gear and Pawl Fly Reel 4" Salmon and Steelhead Rods There's a date of 1938A very nice William Olson Gear and Pawl fly reel, 4" diameter and set up for RHW. Black anodized throughout with a clear anodized foot and S shaped crank handle. Two handsome medallions are inset into the front plate with the first noting the original owner's name, model (4" G&P), and serial number (No. 275) while the second bears William's maker stamp. The reel weighs 12. 6 ounces on my scale. It is in mint, unused condition. Ebonite style handle.
