Nice find Shirls. Good thread. That Abu reel looks great - be interested to hear how it performs. I'm guessing if it's magged, it's not that old in the greater scheme of things. I've got a vintage boat reel similar in appearance to that Penn, but can't remember the make of it - used to be father's. I've also got a Walker's Portsea split cane rod, and two really old reels up in the Loft - a small solid brass reel and a larger green centrepin type reel. Must get them down & take some photos!
