Is there something wrong with the bail, or is it a bad camera angle or shadow?
What are the specs on capacity and such? And, if there's a country of manufacture on the reel foot or the box, where's it from? Some of the US companies imported European spinning reels and sold them under the US company name in the 50s and 60s. The Abu Cardinal, for example, was sold here as a Zebco, believe it or not.
South Bend makes all junk now, but that might not be a bad reel for a few seasons. Does look a little like a Garcia-Mitchell. Not quite, but close.
