Two-part epoxy is about the best you can do, but it won't be invisible on a Penn sideplate. I would recommend you just leave as is and keep an eye out on ebay for the right vintage side plate.

I don't recall wooden handles being used on the Senators, but maybe I'm blanking.

Can't help with the type of glue to use, but John does. As for the wood grasp, you will find 3 types of wood grasp on early 9/0, and some 12/0, Senators. One that looks like a door knob, one that looks like you took a piece of a broom stick and a wood torpedo.
