Here is a little eye candy !! I think I might have posted it before but I never get sick of this one !! Came to me a few years back from long time member Brian Purrone before he passed away. One of my favorite Penn reels !!! Enjoy. John Taylor

the problem with plated brass and salt, that bright finish is still bright even when it's pitted beneath.
I found this on otherwise beautiful Abu surf reels.
Our OP's example is certainly pristine.

John:

Your photography does the reel and box justice. A benchmark.

Those side-plates are vividly engraved.

Well, I missed this post,, a big excuse, was in the middle of a house sale and interstate move !!.

I've seen this Particular stunner before, BUT, John, this would be one of my collections most prized if it sat on my shelf.
Stunning condition, this is real eye candy for an early Penn collector....
Thanks for sharing... Wow
