I saw an old Penn 85 with mottled sideplates and mottled plastic spool at an antique store for $45 and was wondering what it might be worth?
If anyone wants it I can go get it and mail it to you....

I do not have Mike's "Bluebook of Penn Values" but I just picked up a 209 and 85 like yours on a charity auction site for $29 delivered....The 85 Seaboy was a budget reel to begin with, and possibly they kept the prices so low by recycling all plastic....but they do look really cool.....Bill

I can buy 3 of the same on eBay for the "antique store" price. Mottled 85's are very common.

I was just curious because I haven't seen too many of them.....
What's it worth to you. To me beauty and non-dollar worth's "in the eye of the beholder".
