Guys I have never seen one of these before. Can someone confirm what the base reel is? Looks like a 170 to me.
Hi Chris, Hope all's well mate.
I pulled out one of my 170's, and compared, and I'd call that a 170 !!
That would make that a pretty rare beast, what a find !!!!!!
I'm only going visually, if you need any thing measured or the likes, sing out.
Congrats on that find....
PS I have been wrong on occasion, so hopefully someone will come in and confirm.......

Actually Chris,
In reassessing that reel, I'm sorry to say that it is only a model 4, very basic, cheap wildly popular reel that would only fetch
A $5er at your local second hand shop.
It looks like the seller saw you coming, Which is unfortunate !!
I feel sorry for you, so please accept a $10er, and I'll pay for postage, just so you don't have to look at it again.

Hi Chris,
Well done - it certainly looks like a #170. Where are you finding all these treasures you come up with - have you got a 'portal' to the fourth dimension and are travelling back to the early '40's? If so - how about bringing back a whole heap for us lesser mortals!!
I had to google 'Gilgo' - it looked too much like 'gigilo' to me! It is interesting that all those old Schultz reels were named after beaches in the NY/Manhatten/Long Island area. I guess that Penn/Schultz had to appeal to the local market.
I have some Schultz reels in my collection that have no grease/oil ports - so Penn must have been making reels for the Schultz Co. from 1936 to at least 1939/1940.
There must be more out there!!
Cheers
Martin
