Welcome to the Orca online community. The best books on reels and values are located on this site at https://www.orcaonline.org/orca-store/reference-books/. Joining Orca will give you access to our extensive research library. The Orca websites contain more information than is available in books, but the books are a great start.
Good luck

Re: South Bend 850 Perfectoreno
I believe the 850 Perfectoreno was introduced in 1941. I don't have my post-war catalogs handy right this minute to see when, or if, they were produced after the war. I'll update when I get home.
