I'm in the UP right now. I'll be back possibly Saturday. I'll let you know brother and maybe we can get together at my house or yours on Sunday. If not this weekend I'm around all next weekend. Be good to catch up.

If you're in the UP than you have some nice weather but wow, what a cool morning. I'm 10 miles from the mackinaw Bridge visiting Mom and it was 47 this morning.
Enjoy your trip,
Dom

Yes sir! This is truly a sportsman's paradise. It felt good to be chilly last night after being in 100 degree Kentucky heat and humidity. We're here for wedding but hoping to get in a little Fly fishing too. Be safe Brother and enjoy the time with your mom. Are you in Leland?

Thanks Mike! I know what you mean about how good the cool dry air feels because it's been a bear in NYC also. I'm in Petoskey MI and a little north of there. We aren't "fishing" this trip (sadly) but hope to get a bluegill or two on the line at the local pond.
Have a great trip and a successful fishing trip.
Enjoy bro
Dom

I believe this is definitely an earlier reel. There are no part numbers visible on any external pieces. According to Mike C's book the only significant change to the 16/0 was in its 50+ year run was moving the bridge assembly to the 7 o'clock position.

Mike they changed the drags on the early 16/0s and 14/0s from the early small "same size as 12/0s to bigger set ups in around 1942/43 or there abouts !! Brian "Oceanreels" know dates better than me. John Taylor

PEI next fall you welcome to come !!! John

Sounds good to me. The only obstacle would be a conflict with a hunting trip or a karate tournament. Fall is always packed. I'm assuming PEI is Prince Edward Island. Do you fly there or boat?
