I think the old Ocean cities where very much based on Penn, I have read several internet based facts/history pieces on Penn... I will check again, I think some of the original Penn guys were involved with the Ocean City too....I wonder how old that reel is?

Wait untill I post my pics.... but I only do Penns for now, okes like FRITZABU has got some gems...But he really collect "the real deal collectables" Not all Penn but other "brands" too.

Hi, Mouldie I was right, here's the connection between Penn and Ocean City, latter being the front runner - see below from Wikipedia.




Otto Henze, immigrated to the United States from Germany in 1922.[1] At 25, he worked as a machinist for the Ocean City Reels Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. In 1932, Henze rented a 3rd floor loft on 492 North Third Street in Philadelphia from a general machinist firm, William Schmitz & Company.[2] There he completed his first two reel designs, the Models F and K.
In February 1933, the first Penn Reels were sold the Miller Auto Supply Company in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Encouraged by the sales, Henze developed two more designs. Privation during the Great Depression forced families into subsistence fishing, aiding company growth. In 1942, Penn Reels moved to West Hunting Park Avenue.[3] Upon Henze's death in 1948,[1] his wife Martha assumed the company presidency. Penn Reels grew from a regional presence to a world leader in the years that followed.

BTW: Sorry for the side track from your original post - now to Penn & Ocean City...LOL
