Penn Reels - just as you find them

Hi,
Is that a '38-'39 Penn 49 in the top right?

I can't make out the clicker type!  What's the second from the top left?

Deep you win the grand prize......A free lifetime membership to AlanTani.Com.

The 49 clicker didn't seem to be a "kiss, so I downloaded the photo and after blowing it up, was almost certain it was a waffle.  It doesn't take much to keep one amused in retirement so I took the 2 hour drive across Florida to Daytona and sure enough, a waffle,  I'll post some more pix after it gets a much needed bath

Shelly 2nd from top left is a numbered 155

Top row;  Bronson, 155, 65, 85, 114h, 49
Bottom; Mitchell, O/C, O/C, and an almost 6/0 sized Pflueger

The Bronson has no markings, and I have read the California versions have some value, the mid west ones not so much, is there any way to tell which this one is?

It's about time someone grabbed that lot.
Great score dude!!

[Cuttyhunker]

Thanks Clet,
The Pfleuger is destined to go offshore for some school tuna I think this coming summer, after a service job, it really has a solid tight feel about it compared to most other reels, kind of like an AR next to an AK.  You do range far and wide in your searches, but no surprise there having watched the scores you come up with.  Search on!!

 Cutty, Don't knock that one off the shelf this time. Nice score with the addition of that pretty little Pflueger. Don't forget to get these Long Beach anchors before you head north!

Not exactly reels, but some very hard-to-find parts I'm always looking for.  1st year 3 pc spools for Sailfisher.  If they've been spooled, I can't tell.  My projects just took a big leap forward.  Normally, you have to find the reel with a "good-looking" spool just to get one of these. Then you don't know if it's deformed until you spin it.

Thanks go to Chris, 1badf350, for the Ohana heads-up!

Wow those are great!!!! Glad you got them!

Gee nice find Ted, cheers Don.

[1badf350]

Great grab Ted. I was unsure if someone was gonna take a swing at it. Glad it went to a good home!

[1badf350]

I paid through the nose for this one, as some of you know, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
