    Get in touch with Dan Basore. Be prepared to send him a picture.

    Are you sure the date wasn't 1985?  I don't think they manufactured baitcasters back in the 1800's.

    Actually...the 1st (although crude) baitcasters were made and patented by the Meeks brothers 1835-1840...and were called Kentucky Reels

    Below is a search link (copy & paste) for Pflueger 1895 (model #...not year made) on Ebay....

    To the best of MY humble knowledge about reels...the 1st reel with a Thumbar was an Ambassadeur
