I just assumed you were going to clean it up because that's what I would do - if you don't want to, that's up to you, but there's no need to apologize for it. It's a great find and I would clean it up - at least with some soap and water - but that's just what I would do. I apologize if my statement put you off.

Some serious collectors like to see the reels untouched, especially one of this caliber.

Forget about all the reasons why something may not work. You only need to find one good reason why it will.

Thanks for sharing your find, Chris!

Reminds me of Chili Verde.

Great historical Penn piece.

Thanks Chris,
                        First green tag I've got actually,
          But speaking of Green, nothing like that show piece green reel you scored but.
   But at least it shows there are still some good finds out there if you look hard.

cheers Chris

Sweet reel Chris, makes a good pair.

The wife must have felt sorry for either me or this 6/0, either way for $5 I won't complain. Looks to be an early 2nd generation with linen line and rosewood handle. Looking forward to giving it a good clean.  Don't know what to do with the missing clicker, I don't use them very often, so might leave it blank to keep it as original as possible.  Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Whoa Bill that actually looks good all dirty. It also looks like it would clean up pretty well. Your wife has a good eye
