How old is my Zebco 33 reel?

[IndyRacingNut]

Hey ya'll....Just inherited this from my grandfather. Can anyone give me an idea of how old this Zebco 33 is? By the look of it, I'd say it was made in the mid 60's. Maybe earlier....

vary late 60's to early 70's

I had a new one around that time. I have several of that modle now.

while the 33 is a nice reel in those years, the 202 - 404 - and 808 were your work horse reels for that modle. they were made of steel and the combo's came with solid fiberglass rods. virtualy indistructable!
