Can anyone identify this reel? It looks like it says 14-4-N but I can't find a reference for that number. Any idea about how much it is worth? Thanks in advance.
Are you sure it doesn't say 114 H ??
I guess it could be a 114h. I emailed the guy selling it but he hasn't replied as of yet.
My monitor says:
(44-N or 144-N

I think its a regular Black 6/0 with a typo plate. I just looked at my 6/0 and the handle nut has the same numbers, The eccentric bolt has 23-60 on mine. I don't know of a 114H with black plates.
Penn did make a few black side plate 114H reels.

I was waiting for someone more knowledgeable than me to chime in. Why is the gibberish on the plate?
It's a 6/0 reel labeled 114-N. I'm not sure what the "N" represents though. I'm guessing that it stands for black (negro) as the reel was produced right about the same error as the black or African American movement was building. That's my guesstimate.
If it is just a 6/0, it probably isn't worth the $100 he is asking for it. I looks a bit corroded. He has a Sealine 900 for the same price that doesn't seem as corroded.
I hate to admit it, but the 900h is a much better deal here.
Geez, if you want to spend 100 bucks (or less) on a black Penn 6/0, you've got plenty to choose from on eBay. Just a sampling:

Actually, I was looking at the 900H all along. There doesn't seem to be many for sale in this area in the $100 price range. He had the senator for sale also and I couldn't place the model. I thought I might have stumbled on a rare find.
Wish I had a profile shot, wouldn't that be cool if it was a prototype 114-Narrow! ;D ;D
Ron
See if you can get that guy to send you some more pictures of that mystery 6/0 Henry. You have sparked some interest up now! ;)
Of all the reels I have, I still don't have a 900h. I need to get one.
Ron
The only person lucky enough to get a Proto Type 114 N is Sal. He must pick them from the Clouds.

Why is everybody picking on my friend Sal? He only has his head in a cloud. ;D ;D Dominick
Is there really such an Animal? a 114-N?
I checked the Clouds and didn't see one. ;)

I don't know of a 114H with black plates.
I have seen some on ebay. Not many, but some. Supposedly somewhat rare.
What's your take on this typo plate dayone? I'm not talking a black 114H. I mean the mislabeled plate. Is there something more to this? No offense Bryan, but I don't buy your explanation. ;D

I never said I knew the answer. It my guess based on the time period.
Like I said Bryan, No offense. That was a better answer than I had! ;D
Still no response from the seller. I just might have to make the hour and a half drive to Naples to check it out in person. Although I found a Penn 9/0 in better shape than the 900h for about the same money. Decisions decisions ???
I never heard back from the seller. I guess the reel will remain a mystery. So far I am 0 for 3 on Craigslist. I missed the 900h, a 9/0 and a 10/0. The 10/0 was in mint condition for $180 and I called 20 minutes after it was posted. :'(
That too bad Bro! A Mint 10/0 is the Holy Grail!
You hang in there, persistence prevails! ;)
I'm sure all of you big-reel guys have been keeping an eye on this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321388987754?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT :)

Yes, it's on my watch list. I'm afraid to think what the last minute bidding will take it up to. Last month l missed a 12/0 for $128 in the last seconds due to a slow server :'(
I have been ignoring the fleabay lately. The prices of 9,10 and 12/0's has gotten pretty stupid!
Probably a fault of my own. :P I have enough to last me the rest of my life, but I refuse to pay what these people are asking. The 12 and 14/0 are still in production and still made in the USA!
I have 5 each of the 10's, 12's and 14's. I lost count on the 9/0's. :P
If you ever decide to part with one of those 9 or 10/0 keep me in mind. ;D
