Thanks Philly, I think I got it... Definately a little trick to get the flagpole to stay under the reel without the flagpole spring tripping it from tension (tuck the pole under the reel and all the way up tight to the reel shaft so it kind of locks in to the angled plastic of the reel next to the shaft)...
I presume then the little pieces of plastic off the reel and flagpole straightener piece are little handles for your fingers??
Is there a purpose for the little hole in the reel?? And the hole in the flag??? (wind??)
Indented hole in between flagpole keeper and reel holder??? (screwdriver holder for prying out tip up??)
Last but not least, 2 raised peices (one on each side of tip up top) Slots used for prying tip up out of hole with screwdriver???
