John, I have seen those boxes withy inserts for the 30 and 50. Talked with a fellow from Penn ( can't think of his name ) that said that they were made when the Internationals first came out. They were trying to decide what type of box to put them in and ended up going with the cardboard ones. If you call Penn and ask for information on the early Internationals they will transfer you to the Pa. plant and you may be able to talk with him.
Thanks Brian I figured it was older because of reel in it . You know anything about the old serial number range ? John Taylor
John, No, I don't. Try to get a hold of the guy at Penn.
