I’m selling a part of my 40+ year tackle collection over the coming months. Over 10,000 reels and 15,000 lures and need to thin the herd. Bookmark me because I’ll be listing 30-50 reels every week, so check out my other auctions! So much rare stuff. I am listing reels Monday-Thursday so if you see reels you like that end later in the week, I’ll wait to send an invoice until the Thursday reels have ended to save you shipping costs. First month put nearly 200 reels into new homes! Thanks to everyone. I truly appreciate it.

DESCRIPTION:

For a lot of years I worked on collecting Penn trade reels — those reels that the great Penn Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia, Penn. made for the trade. Some of those reels were imprinted with the seller’s name (Ed. K. Tryon, Sears, etc.) but others were generic branded reels. This is an awesome early trade reel from the Penn Fishing Tackle Manufacturing Company of Philadelphia, Penn. It’s based on the 1933 Long Beach with the star drag and is a 250 yard saltwater reel marked with the classic circular logo on the front plate. For more information on Penn reels, seek out the Old Reel Collector’s Association (ORCA), the great Alan Tani reel forum, and the books of Michael Cacioppo published by the Whitefish Press. Works great with a strong click but needs a cleaning. See high res images. A great addition to your collection of a reel you just don’t see very often!

SHIPPING:

Domestic shipping will be $8 via USPS first class mail in the domestic USA. Combined domesticI lots will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail. International shipping only through eBay’s international shipping program. 

NOTES:

I’ve collected reels and lures for 40 years and I love them and their history, and really just want these to have happy homes. If there’s any issues I’ll fix them for you.
