Nice, is that a hex clicker? , maybe the angle of the picture ?  Can't beat that for ten bucks!!  And a spark plug to boot

Yeah, + what looks like some braid and a box, nice!
My #16 catalog(~1950) has the LB-65 for $10. Does it have part numbers?

Looks like the normal round pimple clicker to me Swami805.

Gfish, it didn't have a catalog unfortunately. It did come with the "How to care for your Penn Reels" flyer and a plastic storage bag with red draw string that says "Compliments of Penn Reels".

Never seen one before.

Part numbers that I can see are:

Reel Seat 30-64
Handle has a "B" stamped on it and 24-60.
Handle side oil port is 26-80, other side 40-60
Star Drag is 10-60

 The long beach 65 was $10 for 3 years....1951 thru 1953. The plastic draw string bags were only around for a short time in the early 50's. Nice find !! I'd value it at around $50-$60

That's not a deal... per the box, $10 is full retail!

Good find!

When she told me $10 I couldn't find my Alexander Hamilton fast enough.
