PENN REELS / Re: CHINA MADE Penn Senator 113H2 compared to U.S. Made
« Last post by Wompus Cat on March 27, 2025, 08:44:55 PM »
On a Good/Bad Scenario  .
The China Made Penn 113 Sleeve Fitment to Bridge Plate has addition space .
Good as the Originals after time seem to rub against the plate and need to be filed down to keep from grabbing .   
  Bad in that it has a gap allowing debris to get under it .....lol
Here is one that has been  used a while and  shows  some corrosion on the Spool Frame,and posts . The Screws don't seem to have same quality coating as well.

Gap on Sleeve



Corrosion on Screws (Poor Plating)

This information is taken from the 1931 Ocean City Catalog - Every Year Ocean City Does Something Different With their reels. They placed ink on the side plates of their reels as seen in their ads. I have never seen one or even traces of it. But.. I have heard of a Dover Club baring the white marks that came up for sale in the early 2000's.. Anyway, I'll post every bit of info I have on what these reels might look like. If ya find one - this is where it goes. :D
