Hi, I have a pflueger oceanic reel that says patent pending on it. It is stamped with a " 150 " on the bottom where it attaches to rod. Any ideas on when manufactered? It was my grandfauthers reel. Thanks in advance.

Bob,
Your grandfather's Oceanic was manufactured sometime between the early 1920s to 1931, give or take a year or two, as that is when this 150 yd. model is shown in Pflueger catalogs. The 150 indicates the model size roughly based on how many yards of linen line (#9?) that it held (kind of like the #/0 system used today by Penn).
Hope this helps.

Naturally, Brian was quite correct in the information he gave you.
Since this reel was given to you by your grandfather, I would encourage you to keep it if you like old reels.
But if you have any interest in selling the reel, please contact me. I'm interested in purchasing it, and I'm certain there are other members on this site that are very interested also.
Or, if you would like to sell it via the eBay auction (perhaps the best way for you to get top price), I would appreciate your letting me know. Your reel is somewhat scarce, and is likely worth in excess of $250.00 if it is in nice condition.
