Sure looks very similar to the Lamson LP series. Wish I was in the market for a 7/8 reel, since this is a nice deal!

Hey Blue Thumb Boss,

Peg and I visited the Lamson factory back when those were being produced, saw them with my own peepers. So there’s absolutely no doubt in my mind about Lamson having built DXR’s....and for the record, we met the nice young lady who hand painted Lamson lettering and those blue accents on the DXR’s.

Is it possible that they also had them outsourced to another shop as well? Sure.

I might even have a spare clutch for that reel laying around here somewhere.

Best, Dave

Best history I can find is that Lamson produced them until Sage Bought Lamson, then Orvis switched to Ross for manufacture. This one is older from the Lamson era.
