Vintage/ classic / " old school "fishing rods & reels

I just found a 4th Shakespeare 2052 that I completely forgot I had.
After replacing the bearing,  that should leave me with 3 good working examples and 1 parts reel that just needs a snap ring.

Here's a couple of old reels a buddy gave me 40 some years ago, I just tore them completely down and regreased and oiled them all up. I don't remember if I ever even used them yet.

This early Penn 716 greenie had most of the paint missing on the side plate and pretty rough finish on the handle assembly, so I decided to strip & polish both.
It was also missing the badge so I glued on a wheat penny in it's place.
