Penn 16/0 5 O'clock Handle

Post by BAP-62 »

Just got this reel. They do exist. First one I ever saw except for photos. Figure the reel is from 1939 maybe 1940.

Fantastic find Brian. First one I have seen.

I have been looking since 2007 , asked on ORCA in 2010 if anyone had one and in desperation last week fired off an email to Frank Fritz the American Picker to ask him to keep an eye out for one . Now we know for sure that they must be out there.
Congratulations.

Thanks all. Wish I could go to nationals.
I'm trying to get as much history as I can on the reel. Was told it came from a charter boat captain. If I get more info I will post it.

I cannot make the National myself. Life gets in the way of so many fun things.
