Please post your questions about the chronology of this reel in this thread.
Love to see one. I heard they are super rare.
Probably one of the most difficult of all Penn reels to find!

The reel have pictured here is a Model 80, finding a Model 81 or 82 enter the world almost impossible.

Hello Bill,
I don't think there are too many around. They were terrible sellers and only made from 1933 to 1937. Not too many people wanted to pay for a quick take down knuckle buster with trim ring supported side plates. They really did not make any sense. I don't think I have seen a dozen of them in the last ten years. It is easier to find Model F or K than one of these.
I love this stuff...tops Mike! 8)
