Your photobucket album is private so we cannot access it. Log back into Photobucket and click on your album name. There will be a little icon that looks like a open padlock. Click on that and you can make the album accessible by outsiders like me.

After seeing the initial post on this thread, I started googling and searching on ORCA for Atlantic reels to see what they are. I came up with a mixed bag. It appears there was a company that made Atlantic Coast reels which maybe were Montague trade reels, there was an old model made by Penn called the Atlantic, and there was a trade reel made by Penn. This reel appears to be the trade reel made by Penn.

Please correct my assumptions if I am wrong. It's still cold here in Virginia Beach, so I had nothing else to do. :D

The Penn Atlantic was the #14 model reel.

The Atlantic #126 as well as the other Atlantic Manufacturing Co. reels was written about in detail in Mike's Penn book and also in one of the Reel News editions. Not made by Penn although made by ex-Penn employees .

On Page 223 of the Penn reel book are the Atlantic reels, though I did not see anything on the No. 126

I have an Atlantic #126 in hand. NOS with some Dust rust ( no box )

Don't know why Mike missed mentioning the #126. I wonder if there is a #126 with a metal spool too.

Ray,
That's neat... would be interesting to hear why no mention etc. ? ... I guess that I should have wiped this one off before taking pics ! ...

I have been living at my job at JFK International Airport this weekend because of the snow, but you guys seemed to get this sorted out pretty well except for the missing Model #126. It is not mentioned because I did not know about it. Years ago I was given a list that was supposed to have been all the model numbers made by Atlantic. The list came from someone that was close with the Henze family. For some reason the Model 126 was not on the list.

Possibly other unknown Model Numbers will come out of the closet in the future. Atlantics are simple reel but they are also rare reels. I expect their value cannot go anywhere but up, especially if more information is discovered about them. The history of the Atlantic Salt Water Reel is not fully researched yet.

Thanks, this February has the worst I have ever experienced, but it could always be worse. I could be living in Boston :bricks:

Or Virginia Beach...we have had two monstrous snow storms, one 6" and a week later 4 more inches. Schools were closed for 8 out of 10 days during that terrible two week span! It can't possibly any worse anywhere else. Alas, alas, how did we survive?

I'd like to truck a bunch of these Virginians up to Boston for a week, give them a snow shovel which most have never seen, and tell them to stop whining!

Wayne, when you get those occasional 50 degree days in the middle of the winter months and play golf, it's hard to feel sympathy for you. Especially when you like to rub it into those experiencing real winter.

You are probably one step (At Least) worse than Wayne. You have the odacity to send a picture of the sun shining on your cart path, when the snow is knee deep here. When the earth opens up with the "big one" out there, you will hear me yelling FORE!

Well, the snow did create a need for adjustment for many of us North Eastern type people. I could not longer have a nice meal outside on my deck table:
Image
At least I could still find it and my airport job turned from a maintenance job to a new place. Suddenly everything was clean and white instead of dirty and greasy. There were a few weekends that going home simply became a mute point and then there were horrible situations at the local Queens county parks:
Image
Children and adults were stranded in the snow and we had to send out the dogs to find them.
Image
They were almost frozen solid but somehow we managed to get them through the horrors of exposure to the elements:
Image
When these stranded folks were located, many were engaging in insane activities lying on the ground, twisting and turning like madmen.
Image
It was as if the world had come to an end, everyone seemed to not care about anything:
Image
What was wrong with these people, they seemed to actually be having fun. Go figure :?: :?:

Snow is not all bad you know :shock:
