Help ID this wooden reel

[Dutch Poacher]

I have come across this old wooden reel. It doesn’t have any markings but does have some character that should make it identifiable.
Only one handle, which is an extension handle.
Has a simple soldered line guide connecting by the reel foot.
The drag tension lug has 6 lobes and a flat blade screw to retain it.
On the back, there is a clicker button slide on the main hub.

Neat reel, not as heavy as the traditional Peetz. See if I can load up some pictures here.

Don't really know but looks like an old dockyard job to me.

Aw damn-- I thought you were going to say its a 16th century English trotting reel that was made at the Tower of London armory , worth between 150,000 and 200,000 Pounds !!! So disappointing....

always have a good look at them. I believe that in England that style is called a Nottingham Reel. Some were made by Hardy. Growing up in Victoria, there were lots of "Dockyard Specials" If yours is completely unmarked, that is likely the origin.

Lots of early RABBITS were produced in the dockyard
