and then the Peer 209.  this one is in really good condition.  I'm planning on using this one as I've just started to do some salt water fishing and this seems like it will be a great reel for me.

so many baits....so little time

Those should clean up nicely. Love those mottled plates always a little bonus

I guess I am on a 9/0 kick right now, picked up my second yesterday from an older gentleman in a high desert near me.  Could not pass up the price of $65....15 cheaper than the non-numbered from last month....and being from Southern California it has the darn rock cod warrior handle too...I think I have 4 of them now....gonna go broke replacing them  >:(   I am happy it has the cast bronze spool and bearing though.  Will need to replace the three THICK  :o asbestos drags though and may as well toss a SS gear sleeve in too while it's open.   Bill







Here are the tails plates from the non-numbered on the left and the recent addition on the right.....


And the darn rock cod handle...errrrr
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Might make good upgraded cranks for homemade ice cream mixers.

Another pre war long beach 60 joins the family. Just gave it a fast wipedown. Every piece of this one is all original to 1941. The generic logo only says "long Beach" so it would have yardage stamp under the seat to determine which model it was, but for some reason they never yardage stamped the "optional" lb60 clamp seat, even though it only fit a few reels, all of which were 250yd models

Nice reel Ted.

You have got to have one of the most extensive collections of early LB reels around, certainly some of the nicest reels.  Is this your first prewar with the clamp kit?

l'm thinking about buying this 209 and 309 from an online freind who lives about 700 miles away.  He says they are functional but sort of faded from sunburn.

Anybody got a suggesion of what l should pay for them? l don't need the rods.

Really nice piece ya got there,Ted.  Love when the mold is new so the impression on the tailplate is deep, standing proud like that '41.
Keep 'em coming,
