I could just go knock on the door and ask, but I have a feeling they would look at me like I was a crazy person.  Could be worth a shot though...

Very interested to hear what you are finding out...thanks for digging.

You could do that, you're only 15 minutes away.

I did not buy a house 3.2 miles from the Penn plant for that reason alone...but it helps . 12 min on a bicycle and 5 min by car haha.

Yeah right , you're probably always there . I got an invitation for a special tour about a year ago and never made it over there, I'm also 15 minutes away .

Yeah right Roll Eyes, you're probably always there Grin. I got an invitation for a special tour about a year ago and never made it over there, I'm also 15 minutes away Grin.

No, I mean it, I have never been in the factory. I know the former CEO of Penn, but, have never been in the plant. It is on my agenda of future things to do. I live on Long Island, New York, the plant is not around the corner for me.

I thought you were joking Mike. I've been there a few times, but never got in as I wanted to, I just stayed at the waiting room.
I would love to get in there some day.

Nope, I never set my foot in the door. Being that most of my research ends at 1957, there are not any people at the plant that could help with it. Especially after the business changed hands over tens years ago.

But, I never say never. Today I have books published, I would have never believed that of myself in my younger days. So life takes turns we do not expect sometimes. Every time we think we have it all figured out, something bites us and we have to change directions. The only thing that is consistent is inconsistency.

Sounds like a AT.com field trip is overdue...afterwards we can go to Delasandro's for a cheesesteak and a Peroni to wash it down.

[quoteI can't imagine a collection of 30,000 reels, doesn't really compute with my brain...they must not be married, haha]

They are married but both had the kind of job that allowed for early retirement. There is a story connected with their obsession. They were involved in a bit of underwater work on one of the USA's famous rivers and recovered much fishing tackle in a form of underwater salvage work. That was the beginning of their collecting which turned into a strong interest. Here are a few pictures, I am sure you will all understand why I do not use their names. Their basement is worth a small fortune in antiques. Here is a portion of their collection:

Needless to say, I was impressed with the quality, more than the quantity. A phenomenal display, museum like.
