Olt-

It's a Golden Witch Classic Rod Winder. Extremely well made, thoughtfully updated, and only $75. To me, it's the best 'travel' tensioner available. You can click on the link to the left to see more about it. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Bill is correct. It is an updated and improved version of the original Thomson/Herter wrapper which was introduced early in this century and to my knowledge was in production until sometime in the 1970's. Perhaps even later.

The GW unit is quite well made and very functional.
