I picked up a well used 707 bailess. Unfortunately the emblem is long gone. I know this is a long shot but idoes anyone have one or know if anyone makes replicas?
Thanks

There are a lot more Spinfishers out there than there are emblems to go with them.  Its the same with Alcido Microns.

Hey Chris, While you're looking for an emblem try using an old Indian Head penny in it's place, looks really cool. I'll send you one if you want?
God, Family and Fishing, what else is there?

Just checked — have a few new sideplates — for greenies — but not for a 707.

Found  NOS 700, 704, 710, and 713.

Sorry,

Yep, one will pop up —

Patience, as you said — along with keeping the request active and "out there", will likely succeed.

Best,

More than likely i will need to buy the side plate with emblem intact. Which is fine by me.

That would be a fun project.  There's a guy in Malaysia that casts replica emblems for Alcido Microns.

Are they made out of bronze or brass?

Greenies are made from a circle of Aluminum pressed in a die and copper /bronze colored. "Z"'s are an Aluminum disk pressed in a die and painted with reel model number. Both types are very thin metal.
There was a man in Florida called the "Reel Restorer" who had a generic replacement made for the Penn Spinfishers he restored, but who knows where he sourced them from. I believe he passed on a few years ago.
