Penn Chronology

QuoteYeah, I remember doing a bunch of that research on Olympic and connecting most of their dots earlier this year.   http://reeltalk.orcaonline.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=18625&p=83868&hilit=Ueno+Seiko#p83868 I just never think of Olympic as Ueno Seiko since most of their US known tackle was sold under the Olympic name. The Olympic 81 was thought by many to be circa early '60s since the Olympic Tackle Co wasn't established until 1958 and the company name wasn't changed to Olympic until 1961.   

The info I have about Olympic was passed on to me. My research is a side bar to the Ocean City move into spinning reels. That 1954 date had something to do with the expiration that Hardy had on the full bail. If I remember right, the Hardy patent protection expired in 1954 on the full bail spinning reel allowing Seiko aka Olympic to manufacture the full bail version of the Mitchell Series 3. I have not really researched this myself; but, I felt that the person that passed this on to me was very serious about his research, so I did not double check his info.

The 1954 expiration of the Hardy patent was a significant timeline in the evolution of the open face spinning reel, it opened the marketplace for others to utilize the automatic full bail. Some companies were ahead of the curve in development of their new products, but as is so much the case in the older fishing reel distribution history, new or innovative ideas took a year or two to develop and were slow making it to the consumer. Companies weren't near as pressured to increase sales and profit margins back then as they are today.       
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

That is very interesting and I feel also very correct. Ocean City was much more on top of the open face Spinning than Penn was. Penn did not offer spinning reels until the 1960's while Ocean City was offering the 300 model in 1954.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.
