Trying to date a reel!

[Snatcher]

Just "stumbled" across one of my old sea reels in the garage. Had totally forgotten it was there.

It is a Penn Surfmaster model 150. It may have been lying there 20/25 years not sure.

Have just cleaned it up and given it a wd40 scoot or two and it is purring now.

Nice find Snatcher.

 

Can anyone date it then?

As in a candle lit dinner for two? :confused:

I take it that this is the lady in question?

 

[Snatcher]

Well Mr T Iger I believe that is the baby.

 

Its a duplicate of mine,just checked

 

So what date do you reckon then?

[jabee]

My Father had one in the mid seventies when we first started fishing - got it second hand at a tackle shop in Stoke Newington. Late sixties early seventies I'd say.

[Guest PhilB]

Snatcher pinched it off Noah then! Looks like it's really really old.

Here's another view of the fine lady -

 

 

Currently $24.93 on Ebay with 5 days to run so it will have to be a cheap lunch

 

McDonalds?

 

Are the sides Bakelite like?

Nay lad! Pie and peas washed down with a sweetheart stout. That will ensure a REEL good time.
