Upon further inspection I saw 'UNIVERSAL PICTURES SPECIAL EFFECTS #1', hand engraved on the outer ring. It is mounted on a piece of bamboo, 7" in length, and is fully functional. I know it wasn't the one Shaw used, a 16/0, in JAWS, and have no idea about the history. Does anyone know, or know somebody, that could help identify its origin. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
If you watch the movie carefully, you will see there are more rods and reels mounted vertically behind the open door of the Orca. Not saying it is in fact one of them. Without documentation its hard to prove someone didnt simply take an engraving tool and have at it.
