Sometimes you find them like this.
Can't wait to look inside.
Only thing done so far is rub off a little old brown grease from the handle nut.

The back of the coupon.

Steve, you think the "1964" on the film coupon dates the reel? Where'd you get that beauty?

Great questions Greg. Got the reel on the big site with a bid I never thought could win. Surprise.

This is my first time attempt at dating a reel.
No idea if the coupon really came from this box because it also came with two catalogs, 35B & 36B, both printed in the 70's.

Looking at Cat. No. 26, copyright 1964 it says NEW! THE SPECIAL SENATORS.. Says red plates but, are they maroon?

My question; did Penn distinguish maroon from red?

Steve,
   That looks like a first year package to me... Sure is a fine example of one, too.
Nice find,
Dom

Nice find Steve...a real score

John Taylor, your restoration skills are phenominal. I have no doubt there were countless hours involved.

I got a deal on a few internationals. Here's one of them, a 20 dated to 1984. It looks to be just a narrow 30.

And a unnumbered surfmaster. Rarely do we find reels in this condition in my region. Thanks Jason
