Hope someone can help me. I'm looking for information on a British made fly
fishing reel that bears the inscription:

A & N.C.S.L.
Makers
105Victoria Street
Westminster

I know that the A & N.C.S.L.. stands for the Army Navy Cooperative Stores
Limited and


"Army and Navy Stores, established in Victoria Street, London in 1871. The
'CSL' was added to the mark for 'Co-operative Society Ltd' until 1934.
Since 1973 the store has been part of House of Fraser."



From this information I am thinking the reel would have been 1934 and
earlier since it has the CSL on it?? It has the Ivory handle, which I also
understand was on the earlier reels. The reel appears to be brass.



Thanks
