I watched every episode of the original Star Trek, my only problem is since the stroke I have CRS.  ;D  Joe

Live long and prosper, Joe! 

Umm... what's "CRS"?   ???

QuoteI'm going on the hunt for a 113 4/0 (black plates) for my collection.  Does anyone have pictures of the earliest version of the side plates?  Also, was there a version that had the feature of changing the drags from the outside like the 113H?
Thanks

Time to go back to Earth.

Hello Jeff,

Just recently got these pics of a 114H in basic black with the external drag replacement feature and the basic tail plate.

Hi Mike, I've seen about four black 114-H reels including mine and they all had the the external access drags.They were made for such a short time that I don't think that they were made with the enclosed drags.    Rudy

You're right Rudy. They also made the maroon 114h with external access but I believe that was scrubbed after the anniversary reels or there abouts, probably similar time that the 113h changed over.
I have 6 black 114h's but the only left handed (factory) I've ever seen or heard of.
Anyone else have a factory 114h lefty. I'm sure there are more so keep your eyes peeled.😳
Thanks

I have a few of the 114H with external access. The boat on the non handle side as well.
This one has a unique looking handle. Amber green.

That is a unique handle...Looks like a Halloween gourd.

  Yes, I like those handles too Dom.  I bet Daron has a drawer full of them just waiting for the next build. ;) ;)

Hello Dom,

These reels have no history. They are very hard to find (as far as I know). I finally found one at a show last weekend.

You have six of them, that is great! How did you wind up with so many and do you know anything about their history? According to the books and Trade show info, they should not exist with the Black Side plates.

I spent some time this afternoon taking pictures of all my Penns with picture tail plates. I think I have a few that aren't yet displayed here. They're all on Senators.

This first is a dark maroon 113h



It also comes in the standard red 113h



This is a 113 - a lot like Basto's reel in post #15 of this thread, except his is a marlin, this is a sailfish :)



This is on a 114



Another 113 - this may be the same as two pictures back, I'd have to pull out the reels again to be sure.



And another 114

I think I found I really rare one. I have never seen this engraving on a 250 yard reel. This is usually on the small 1942 Sea Hawk (150 yard) with the undercut rims: but, here is it on a 1937 250 yard Sea Hawk. Unfortunately I did not get a chance to buy it.

Interesting find Mike.....is the green color the bakelite of paint?   Never seen that color green before.....Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

I think it's the lighting Bill.

Is that the one (3 pillared '37) that went for around $60 on a bin on eBay?
I had the opportunity but couldn't add another Seahawk to the collection.  I didn't notice the tailplate being only on the 150 yd'er or things may have been different... that's why you're he authority on Penn reels. Nice eye!
Steve is correct, it's just the light. I thought the same at first.  Check the advanced feature on eBay for more photos.
Thanks for pointing that out, mike!
