Used Very Clean Penn Senator 114H 6/0 with Black side plates. This is a lesser seen version made for only a very short period in the early 1960’s as Penn was introducing the 114H model with higher gear ratio and actual ball bearings. They were originally made in black but switched to the now familiar maroon sideplates to avoid confusion caused between the 114 standard and 114H high speed. A rare reel to begin with and even more difficult to find in nice condition. Reel is very nice looking and functions very well. Good freespool and loud clicker. Took apart to see inside, all original so leaving as found with the factory grease, Ill let the new owner decide what to do. Gave it a good wipe down with soft cloth to shine up chrome for this 60yr old reel. Has box, catalog, tube of grease, wrench and reel clamp. Excellent condition some minor chrome loss, nick and/or storage wear, but not much. See all pictures for condition. Please see all pictures for more details.
