We always have a couple of those in the camper -- standard equipment -- and very handy.

Found this first year senator recently. The dirt and grease actually protected it from corrosion all these years. She cleaned up really nice!!

   Wow...that is incredible condition for such an early Senator. I too had a stroke of great luck in nabbing this mint 1/0 Senator. This one is truly "just as I found it"...no scrubbing necessary! 8)

Does anyone else besides Wayne know the expression "dry shaving?"  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.

That is an amazing find. It is the first of the Senators, a 1936 / 37 Model 115. In that condition you have a valuable reel.

Thanks everyone! I also recently acquired this 9/0 with lighthouse box. Using Mike's blue book, it looks like 1939-41 maybe judging by the price? I gotta start taking 'as found" pics. This one had just a little scruff to her as you can see, but not much.

Beautiful reels you've recently acquired. Looks like you met a collector in your travels and somehow convinced him to sell some of his really rare relics.
Good stuff!
Thanks for showing
Dom

Mo, this is a great find, really cool reel, congrats




the other reels that have been "found" recently have made green of envy, not much where to look for reels here

Shes a beauty for sure!
Question. Do all 1/0 have stippled or textured sideplates?
