Hey Mo, get you a 49 you'll love it. In my pic it's the one in the middle. The other 4 are 49A's. wide bodies made for the South African market.

That's a beauty there.

One of these days you are going to have to post a photo of your entire collection.

   I've been meaning to do that...I'll see what I can come up with. It should be easier than photographing Ted's entire collection. I don't think they make a lens that wide! ;D

The 109 handle is double knobbed.  The handle pictured is common on older 180 & 190 reels.   The double knobbed handle w/o oil ports was on the 77's.

My 77 had the double like you say, my maroon plate 109 had a smaller football knob counter balanced and my other 180s had a single knob non oiling port handles 24-85 handles on them.  It was different enough that I didn't part the reel out, cleaned and greased it, changed drags and will probably fish it just the way it is.

The first rule of fishing is to fish where the fish are. The second rule of fishing is to never forget the first rule.

I like the 24-85 (larger single-handled one, with counterbalance) for the Penn 10, as Mo suggested.  Looking to get my hands on a dark-colored one soon. :)

I just picked up this 9/0 Senator. It looks to have a wooden knob and unnumbered.

Thats a classic for sure.....Good looking reel brother....Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Very nice! I bet the flanges on that spool are Nickel Silver.
