I have never seen a Penn handle like this one before. Is it an oddity or have I just not come across one? The "B" marking is what really has me wondering most. Also I find the knob color a bit odd as well.
It's commonly found on blades from early 1950's

It was for sale by itself, no reel attached.
I've got a similar handle from my Dad's 200, which was new in '53 or maybe a little earlier. One arm of the blade is marked with a backwards "S" (for Surfmaster?), the other "2 + 60." It also has the cool, butterscotch torpedo knob.

Also, hard to see in the photo, it has a "24-155" stamping. That part number could be for multiple models.
Looks like 24-60 to me. Must be like seeing "Joe" in that handle knob,just depends who's looking at it.

Hmm. I can see the images, and DropBox says the link is public. Anyone else having problems?
Yes Mike, I see your pics.... The 24-60 was only a part number for very short duration around 1950......after that it was changed to 24-155
