vintage johnson rod & reel

Question
I was wondering what year the Johnson 130A was made. It was given to me as a birthday present this year. It looks old. I fish the White River in Southern Indiana.  

Answer
Cathy; I looked at several things on the web and couldn't find out when certain reels were made.  You might try looking up on your computer Johnson fishing reels.  I did not have time to look up as many possibilities as you will find.  I do believe that these were made in more than one year.  A number on it will help you find it.
I mean a number different from the 130A number.

Sorry I couldn't help more but I am not an expert on old fishing gear.  Thanks for calling on me to answer your question even if I did not answer it completely.
