Vintage PREMAX Trolling Jigging REEL Braided Line Wood Handles w/ Spring Drag

Description

Antique PREMAX Trolling Jigging REEL
Premax was founded in 1922 as the Niagara Metal Stamping Co of Niagara Falls, NY as a job shop stamping house. This business model quickly changed however, as the company found opportunity in property marking in industries such as, utilities, railroad, manufacturing, housing and vehicle numbering, to name just a few. Soon thereafter, the company was renamed to Premax to signify the quality of its products and was acquired and set up as a division under the Chisholm-Ryder Company, a leading manufacturer of farming equipment in its time. This merger allowed for a greater offering of products including the manufacture of tent stakes, fishing rods and reels, and water sprinkler systems.
