I've collected a couple of similar reels over the years. As a direct-drive reel there is no gearing to fail, 1-1 power ratio, and the large narrow spool takes up line quickly for deepwater work. It was a style used in the northeast for tautog and other wreck fishes where dragging them out of bottom hangups was key to beating the fish. With today's reels, this niche is all but closed. Close cousins are mooching reels for salmon on the pacific northwest and center-pin freshwater reels but both are much more high end products with drags.
Australians are still users of direct drive reels for power. Alvey is the brand we've heard of stateside. Some of their old snapper reels were deck-mounted like a windlass.
