Sweet looking reel, Col, you did good man!

Wow, very nice condition 1st gen

The oil port in the knob makes it more likely a 1937 version, but still a fantastic find !!

Thanks guys, Yes, I have sort of found a liking to these Senators !
I didn't know that regarding the oil port in the handle making it a 37,  thanks for that.

My photography examples weren't really that good, or at least didn't really show up it's condition to well.
It does have some corrosion issues, including patches of that green stuff !, so it's nowhere near the condition of my 12/0 I got recently.
BUT, I know I can give it a good going over and make it more presentable, albeit with a bit of Patina, enough for it to look half decent on the shelf.

cheers

Yes it's a correct first year 12/0, the only year with no front lugs, my 37, like most, had the handle changed out for the easier to crank torpedo grip after they became available in 39, so extra good find to get a first year with the original wooden grip.

Nice find Col, with that 9/0, it drives me mad, when people try to print there name or initials on the chrome rings, it would be just as good on the top of the foot, maybe, it will polish up good, cheers Don.

This early Seaford was a local buy for $20

The internals look weird to me. Not like what I'm used to seeing on my other penns.

I think I answered my own question. Consulting of the bluebook it appears this is a first year 1933 Seaford with the internals that they were accused of infringing on.
