has the marking indicated on the interior side plate of the reel? Are there any know reels marked "F"

Yes there are, Dick. The marking is the same type as your reel - but it says "Mod F" instead of "Seaford". Take a look here:

I just now saw the Model F on a members reel, that is a scarce baby.

WPnder when the switch was made from "F" to Sea Hawk?

Many times ORCA contributors have referred to the excellent article about Models F & K in Penn's 2005 catalog. I presume this is still the definitive answer to your Q:

"Otto Henze spent the Fall of 1932 ordering parts and assembling his reels. As 1933 approached, Mr. Henze decided to change the names of the MOD F and MOD K reels before they were introduced to the marketplace. New plug stamps were engraved and boxes with labels were produced for "three" different reels -the SEA HAWK, the BAYSIDE, and the LONG BEACH. The MOD F became the SEA HAWK, the MOD K with no star drag became the BAYSIDE, and the MOD K with a star drag became the LONG BEACH. Actual sales invoices confirm that these 3 reels were first sold in February 1933."

"ORCA members Gary Davis and Gary Quick" are credited "for helping us (Penn) piece together our (Penn's) early history".

I still keep hoping to stumble across 1 of these early 3 post Penns at a fleamarket of yardsale someday.

So that means the reel, the Steelers and myself all happened in 1933! Since I sort of collect 33 stuff, I am glad I didn't unload the Sea Hawk. THANS AGAIN

Hello littlejuanita,

Interesting post but why are you using the pictures of the reel I recently purchased on EBay?

didn;t want to take mine apart, do all the early reels have the marks on the inside of the side plates and the domed click button?
