Hi Guys,
This has cropped up on our U.K. eBay, is it a Penn? nice tail plate.

I'd be astonished if it's a genuine Penn, but a very cool tail plate, nonetheless! :)

Hi Aiala,
Yes it was the tail plate that caught my eye.
Mike.
I've seen that before, I believe a Japanese copy of Penn, but i'm not 100% sure. Still, those would be cool to own, they would look sharp on a reel.
Mike, your stuff left Monday.

Hi Sal,
Firstly thank you for my stuff!! you are a star as usual my friend.
I like the plate but at £20 I thought it a bit expensive, especially if you look closely at the inside shot, there seems to be a crack running from 4 o'clock to the centre.
Take care buddy,
Mike.

Sal , you are 100% correct . I saw one sold in the USA and this one sold in OZ . I kept the photos because it shows "Japan" on the foot. Puts a stop to the BS that some people use to rip off for a "Rare Penn" .
Thank you for the photos and clarification Superhook.
I see the seller has dropped the price to £16, if he drops it to a £1 with free postage, I will buy it for the novelty ;D
Mike.
