QuoteWhat would disqualify it from being a 1936

They were not introduced until 1937, that might disqualify a 1936 classification.... :-\

The straight handle Deluxe models were only made in 1937 and 38. When Penn placed handles on reels back then, the hollow wood handle that is on your reel was basically interchangeable with the straight phenolic handle with the oil port. Usually on a high end reel like a LB Deluxe that did not happen; but, obviously it happened on the one you have. Ted, your reel is a 37 or 38, without supporting packaging, no real way to know what exact year it is. IMHO

That was not a dumb question. You were only one year off without checking the book. That is pretty good. If I don't check the book I can even get the right decade................ ???

I have a longbeach 60 and I am restoring it. From what I read the penn jigmaster stainless sleeve should fit. But after trying it tha shaft on the bridge is to small. Was there a early design and I have one? If so can I change over to a newer on so the bridge will fit.

   Yes Mike, at some point in Penn's history they did use that smaller diameter bridge shaft and corresponding gear sleeve. I've ran into it on a Baymaster 180, a Silver Beach 99, a 259 Live Bait Caster, and a Super Mariner 49. Finding a replacement bridge for the LB 60 should be easy if you want to use that ss sleeve. 8)

Another lucky find. It is well used but no broken or chipped plates.

Great find Ted, Finding a mottled Long Beach is much harder than some of the other lower priced models. Are both side plates mottled like that or just the head plate?

Hi Mike, yes, both sides are mottled the same.

I have a few long beach with mottled tail plate only....seems to me that they didn't do as many mottled head plates

Could be, would have to go back in time to know for sure. I now think your mottled reel is even better with the mottling on both plates.
