Hi Bruce, Yes it's possible! Had a fellow collector friend who had a white side plate Senator so anything is possible. He got it as well as some incredibly rare items from a fellow Penn collector named Bruce as well who had an in at the Penn factory. Would/could this be the same Bruce? If so I'm VERY INTERESTED in the red Senator. Yes I will step up! Nick in NY

Seems like a pretty feeble excuse to not supply a photo or two.

Mark I have a funny feeling the woman he bought it from has more penn reels and he's not telling who it is he's a little nuts like that he was robed once so he does not let to many people se his collection bruce

I would love to see a photo of that red side plate 16/0. A friend has a factory red 9/0, and this is the only non-black larger senator I am aware of.

*I know this is an older thread.

Congratulations on your first 16.
