I have just uploaded two images into the photo page. The first is a image of a Berkely Buccaneer. Note the use of thread. Seems a little excessive to todays standards :)

The second image is of the first guide. It is a little misshapen :). The current inside dimensions are 17.5mm X 23.6. Any ideas on the original size and guide model?

Probably made by Perfection. American Tackle (through MudHole at least) sells a similar braced guide. Likely size 25

The guide has been flattened. It appears to be an Allen Mfg. guide. Despite their no longer being manufactured,I might have one. They can often be found on the big @#$%& site as well. Its probably a size 20.Perhaps an 18... The key to distinguishing Allen guides from Perfections,was the arched brace under the ring.
