HI ALL,
This reel I aquired looks like a PENN SQUIDDER #140. The reel I would like to get a date on, says R.H.Macy & Co. Made For By OCEAN CITY MFG.CO. NEW YORK CITY This reel has no drag , just a piece of leather that pivots off a cross bar. Use your thumb to put resistance on spool. One lever for free-spool or lock to crank, but cranks either direction, and bearing pre-load, about 2.2 : 1 ratio Dave von Doehren PRRODS......If man built it , man can fix it.and if man built it man can break it !

You might want to google up an old reel forum or something. You can try at www.joeyates.com but I think they are mostly for old lures. But worth a try. Re: OLD REEL I.D.

Attaching it to a 7' to 9' bamboo surf rod will give you a nice piece of collectible surf fishing history. Larry Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
