Item SummaryThis listing features a vintage mid-century lot of two classic Penn conventional saltwater/trolling fishing reels: a Penn No. 77 "Sea Hawk" and a Penn No. 85 "Seaboy." Both reels are highly collectible early production variants from the late 1940s to early 1950s era, featuring the desirable factory "PAT'D." stamps on the logo medallions rather than later regional address text. Fitted with vibrant marbled green and cherry red handles, this pair makes an exceptional rustic cabin display, a turnkey addition to a vintage tackle collection, or a restoration project.Individual Reel Inventory & DetailsPenn No. 77 "Sea Hawk" Conventional ReelMechanical Style: Direct-drive "knuckle buster" architecture (no internal drag or free-spool).Key Features: Marbled green dual-knob composite handle; smooth maroon Bakelite handle plate with "PAT'D." stamp; blank non-handle side plate; lightweight black Bakelite spool core.Penn No. 85 "Seaboy" Conventional ReelMechanical Style: Star drag override mechanism with a manual free-spool clutch lever.Key Features: Torpedo-shaped cherry red composite power knob handle with integrated counterweight; textured stippled faceplates with "ON/OFF" lever stamping; oversized molded "PENN" block lettering on the non-handle plate; beautiful red/brown marbled tortoise-shell Bakelite spool; factory-stamped matching base stand ("30 85").Condition NotesMechanics: Spools spin freely and internal clicker alarms engage on both models; the No. 85 star drag and free-spool lever actuate smoothly.Bakelite/Composite: Both reels are structurally excellent. All side plates and spools are free of catastrophic cracks, heavy impact fractures, or rim chipping.Metal Components: Frame cross-pillars, handles, and base stands exhibit authentic saltwater patina, surface oxidation, chrome dulling, and varying degrees of green verdigris crusting (most notably on the undercarriage of the No. 77).Foot Stands: Both mounting feet are physically straight, unmodified, and un-filed, ready to mount cleanly into standard vintage reel seats.Sold as-is.--These items are part of an estate from a collector and carpenter by trade (descended from other crafts-persons, mostly in Connecticut). Payment required within 48 hours of auction's end. All items from a smoke-free environment. Please check out the other items from this collection!
