I was talking to my brother in law yesterday, he lives in Rhode Island and is a Firefighter  and works with my dad in his auto repair shop on his off days.  He had a customer come in and give him a couple of old reels. One was a Penn 155, the other was an Ocean City 965 (anything fishing he will scarf in a second).   The 965 says it was made in Philly.  Does anyone know if this was a company that was part of Penn?  Or has any info or knows where to get parts for it?  I am heading back east and my Brother in Law is giving them to me as he is a freshwater fisherman and has no interest in these reels.  He has nothing invested in them, says they work and click but other than that he didn't know to much about them.

I have a couple of old Ocean City reels I inherited from my grandpa...small ones built more for pier fishing than anything else it seems.  I think finding parts might be difficult, but Alan Tani is the man to answer that question.

Otto Henze left Ocean City Reels and started his own fishing reel
company in 1932, he called this new company Penn Fishing Tackle
Manufacturing Company.

fairly simple, but drag washers have to be hand cut.  alan
