The Penn 85 was first introduced as the Oceanside in 1934 and continued until 1938. You next see an unnamed Penn 85 introduced in 1941 and continues unnamed until 1951. In 1952 the 85 was named the Sea Boy and production continued into the 1960s. This reel is from the 1941 to 1951 time frame. The reel functions as designed, every thing works, but has seen a lot of salt water use. All chrome parts have some salt water erosion. Little piece of American fishing history.
