No picture plate Daron. These are the beginning of the newer style plates.

  The star is non numbered. All other parts are numbered.

Hello Ted,

You've done it again , an old pairing in great condition.

If you look at page #190 ( Catalog supplement) in Mike's yellow book it states that effective 1st September 1950 the LB#65 will be $9.00 .

Heck, I forgot all about the price increase inserted in those catalogs

I happen to have one and it sure does say $9 for a lb65.

I knew you or Mike had the answer.....thanks Ray. Hope winter is treating you right.

Based on the presence of some part numbers I would date it to around 1950, maybe a little earlier like 1949.....Im sure other will chime in...Bill
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

QuoteI'll try this'n here, sos not to add a whole new post. Like to try'n date this LB 60 with only 3 part numbers. Spool=29-60; handle screw=26-60; handle=24-155(kinda a diffrent lookin number stamp: digets larger than others but shallow).
Found a brass? Shim washer on topa the typical penn under-gear fiber washer, with 3 leather friction washers in the stack. You can see the "BARRACUDA" cast controler as a add on. Lube port on bridge say"grease". Stand with no visible numbers and had 2 screws from the side plate mixed up with the slightly shorter stand screws so possible upgrade add-on.
That's alla part numbers above after complete disassembly. Given the shape a the dog and with only one side of the bridge area formed for dog placement it had to have had a "leaf spring" that was missing. This is fun! Thanks aheada time!

Your Long Beach is a Hybrid. Probably a late 1940's reel with a few servicing's over the years that have added numbered parts and incorrect parts. The handle is wrong, too small for a Long Beach. Should be part # 24-66. The thumb stall is an aftermarket piece from the 1930's. Really does not belong on a Penn reel that has a drag. I would consider this reel a parts reel.

With that cracked plate. Its the deal breaker. :-\
Just sayin'

I would pay a few dollars for this reel. As long as the Penn 60 stand with the rod clamp does not have a part number on it..

Exactly. The Long Beach Deluxe 250 yard is a 2/0 and the Long Beach Deluxe 300 is a 3/0. Good eye Basto!!

May be a 1937 as it does not have the lube cap on the handle grasp.

I was thinking it was 1936 because no oil port in the knob.

What would disqualify it from being a 1936  ???
