Looks like a Penn Senator. Very reliable reels. That one is in a little bit of a rough state, but could clean up pretty well.

One that in great condition could cast very far, Conventional Multiplier..... no levelwind, you will need to use you thumb to align the in coming retrieve for the next cast, it’s a small learning curve but nothing extreme
I use an Akios Reel to achieve long distance casts... a Conventional Multiplier

Looks to me like a Penn 200. A very good reel for in-shore and light off-shore ( albacore, small yellowfin, small bluefin and yellowtail) fishing.

Left handed reels from the past! Got 4 RH on the shelf still in working order. Might be fast reeling jig master version?

This reel is made to be used for pier fishing or trolling. It is not made for casting. Clean it up and it will last a lifetime.

Penn will take all of their products and refurbish them. Correct me if that has changed

These are extremely reliable reels that will last a lifetime...They are entirely rebuildable, and will hold up under any situation.

I have two identical to this one. When I go out for sea bass or other reef/wreck loving fish, I always take this reel. It is reliable and in 50 years all I have ever done was rinse and soak in fresh water when I get home from fishing and dry it thoroughly and oil up everything. The reel needs very little in the way of care and feeding and works for me consistently. At the time the reel was purchased, I doubt it cost even $20.00. Penn's workhorse reels can't be beat. If you check any charter captain, I would bet 90%-if not more-of his rental stuff is Penn. They work; they work consistently and that's what you need out there on the briny! Regards to all my friends online.

The reel in your picture is a Penn Monofilament 25. It was designed by Penn to handle monofilament line. It came in three sizes: model 25, 26 and 27. The model 25 was my first “good” reel bought the summer of 1959. Used the reel to fish the canals near Mexicali and later the piers in Southern California. It is still in my opinion one of the best reels of its time. And mine still works fine. Unlike a lot of the higher priced reels on the market today, parts are still available from mysticparts.com or eBay even after nearly 60 years. I would clean it up load it with 15 or 20 lb mono and use it for canal, pier or river fishing.
