Matching a Pennell Reel with box

Post by Steve K »

Hi..I have an old reel box marked on the end:

No. 980N
FISHING REEL
PENNELL
Trade L Mark
60 YARDS


My reel is a 60 yard PENNELL Quadruple

My gut teels me that this is probably not the correct reel for the box.
If not, does anybody know what a No. 990N looks like or has one for sale?

Thanks

Pennell 980N

I've got a boxed Pennell 980N, it's a wide spool raised pillar reel simply marked "Pennell" without any trademark or other markings. I'll try to post a pic later, in the meantime here is an old pic of part of my boxed Pennell reel collection just for fun.
