Below is a reel that was given to me. It was found in a garage sale, it seems to work properly and has no marks of the manufacturer.
Somebody knows this one for sure. ;)
Another person said it is an early Penn.
The push button free spool works great like am ambassador.
The reel has a lot of use. And more left.
It's a nice size for many species of 🎣 fish.
Thanks for any info. Good fishing to all.🆗
It's a Pflueger, just not sure which model yet.
Sea King 2158 was close...so it could be in that series...or possibly a knockoff. The reel seat is a different design and the model I found online was engraved with the model.
There's a lot of collectors in here, someone might be able to pin it down for you.
def pfluegar; i have two just like it at the cabin and will check for you this weekend.
Pflueger Capitol Model 1985
Was the "mechanical thumber" an optional add on part? Couldn't find any pics of a reel online with that.
Nevermind...here's one:
