Wheeler & McGregor Reels

Wheeler & McGregor, Milwaukee, WI

The Milwaukee reel made by Wheeler & McGregor was the first commerically available level wind reel. It came in two different spool widths and were marked the No. 3 and the No. 4. The reel was sold by the Wilkerson Co. in Chicago for only a few years. It came in a nickel silver (German silver) and nickel plated brass versions.


The NO. 3 MILWAUKEE Reel, circa 1895
