The rod adds to your antique room decor -- well done.

If the reel is of comparable age as the rod, Penn did not finally start making reels to match the Newel conversion kits until the '80s. Underneath the Eagle, there are letters, "SKO 87" could that be the rod wrapper's initials and the year it was wrapped? Rod is in relatively good condition, but is that too recent? Wood-handled rods were more popular in earlier decades. Eagle claw has been around since the 1920's so who knows?

This was one of the few rods I bought out of a store before I started wrapping -- late 70's. Does anyone remember this place? They were on Pier Avenue, and Jerry opened a second store on Aviation Blvd.
