Old Penn Reels

If the handle is original, then that puts the reel in the earlier end of its range. Honestly, those butterscotch handles were generally found on 1950s or earlier reels. Possibly they were still using them in the early 60s.

 

If you ever get a copy of the Penn book mentioned in an earlier post, you'll probably be able to date the reel more accurately from the style of the model number on the side plate. I've got some articles written by the author of that book that may shed some light. When I get a chance I'll see what I can find.
