Hi All,  I've been a tad quiet of late with regard to "Penn finds"
Although I do have a few finds arriving from over the big water any day now !!

So, below shows 2 Silverbeach reels, 97 & 98.  The 98 I got a while back, a 38 year model and documented in the vintage section.
But I don't think I posted up on the 97. It's interesting to see them side by side.
The 98 has the drilled spool, the 97 has the post, the older 98 has the hershey clicker, the 97 has the waffle type.
I never noticed till after clean up, that the 97 is actually a L/H model, Which isnt stamped on the head plate, which I thought was cool.
It's a dizmal day out here, so the photo's aren't the clearest.
I do have a soft spot for these Silverbeach reels, they are one of my Favourites.....

Ok, Well a package arrived a few days back, but have been fair under the pump at work catching up after my 10 days break to post up my
  "just as I find them" additions.

Managed to fill a few more "Senator" gaps that I was looking for ( still a lot to go).
Not only Did I receive the reels, But the seller included a few extra's which I wasn't expecting, a couple of Penn vintage stickers and,
An old fishing knife with what looks to be Porcelaine side plates, Was blown away by this.
First two reels are, A non numbered 1/0, my first view of one of these and a non numbered 6/0, with coin edge counter balance,
Both in brilliant condition.
The second photo is a anniversary boxed 4/0 Senator, in superb condition.
These reels were good enough to go straight on the shelf........
Now the Seller was from the Ohana right here, Darin Crofton, Can't Say thank you enough to Darin, who gave me a great price and packed my little gems up and sent them half way around the world, and, as mentioned, put a few extra's in with the package as well.
It's great to meet new, similar minded friends on this great site,  Thank you Darin........

You're so welcome my friend, Col, so happy everything got there safely and that you like the reels too!

Chris, I'm not sure about the 1/0, I'm having brain fog, but you're probably right?  ;D

As found at a sidewalk sale... $10.00. Missing L.S. bearing and
bearing spring. Easy to track (I hope). Circa 59'- 60's . Should
be an easy re-hab to put back in service...but, dissection will tell.  ;)
My first Monofil.... could not pass it by.

I kind of like the 500S. I know that some people say that everyone hated them. I remember a tackle dealer that had a whole bucket of them in the back of his shop. He told me they were very unpopular. The first Neptuna cradle rig I built to fish with had a 500S I used and I fished with it for years. Maybe it is because I have a special liking for Lexan as opposed to Bakelite. Your red spool version is a great add to a collection, in my opinion, even if the 500S is the Black Sheep of Jigmasters.
