Hi guys
Can anyone give me an approximate time this plate was made? It`s my oldest 113h. Just got it yesterday.

I don't know the answer to your question, but that thing is just beautiful.
Thanks Mike. It will be even better when I have cleaned it up.
cheers

Sal will probably give a good idea. Does have thin harness lugs and thinner post's. The really old ones do.
That is one of the very early plates, those started appearing in the #25 catalog. It could go as far back as 1959.
We do have some geniuses here that might give a better answer.
Keith, did you get the envelope?
Basto,
The "Special" 4/0's first appeared in Catalog #26 (1963) . The side plates were red/maroon . Gear ratio 3 .25 to 1 and you can get at the drags without removing the side plate. Ball bearings in both side plates. One piece cast bronze spool with stainless steel spindle . O'size handle with larger knobs and extra heavy chrome plating . There was also a 6/0 Special with 2.8 to 1 gearing.

Ray, yes I just checked and it is a #26 catalog. I always count from the catalog #21, its the only one with the date, so if the 21 has a 1958 date, you're spot on, 1963.
That's two years before I was born. ;)
I'm going to have to make SoCal an offer on his. I think one of these early 113's would make a good tank! 8)
That is a beautiful sideplate -- looked through my 4/0s & 6/0s -- and found some close -- but not as nice as that.
But when looking, I did find some brand new 140 sideplates in envelopes, 209 rings, and 140 rings hidden under some of these -- all new.
Best,
Fred

Your Rich-you have the goodies
Mike
I just bought an entire 99 to get a plate like that because mine has a small crack near the center of the left plate.
Thanks very much guys for the info. much appreciated!
Basto

Shark Hunteryou have a PM.
My tank has the same plate. The flash makes it look brighter, but its Maroon.

Thanks SoCal. ;)
Take a closer look Daron, yours is different. Your plate is from a much later model.
The boat on your plate sank.
;D ;D
Yeah, my side plate is maroon, but it's like Daron's rather than Basto's and the drags can't be changed from the outside.
You are right Sal. I think it just went out of view. ;D
I have the one with the boat in it coming from SoCal.
Mark, My reel is newer, but I have the quick change drag side plate.
Adam's insert will be going in there. ;)
Well the old girl cleaned up pretty good. She got a new alloy spool and carbontex drag. I have come to think that these old 113h reels are somewhat relieved of a lot of stress with the heavy chromed spools replaced with a light aluminium one and a greased carbontex drag.
I am now happy to keep the post frame.
cheers

You done an excellent job on the old girl Basto - She cleaned up really nice.
Looks Good Basto. I got mine the other day. I'm going to go all out on it.
WoW! Awsome job Basto. You deserve a Gold Star on this one.
Awesome example, thanks for sharing!
Basto, you do some nice work ...thanks for taking us along. ;)
