Old reels?

[moktarr]

Hey all. I am new here. I am a fisherman, mainly from shore in the Escanaba and Sault Ste Marie areas. 

I recently inherited some fishing gear and I am not sure I am going to use it. It seems like it is for deep water. I believe my dad used to use them for bridge fishing. When he passed the poles and reels went to my uncle and when he passed I ended up with them. 

Anyways the poles are pretty nondescript but all the reels look antique. They are Peer Penn or something like that, 4 reels 2 are the same, the other 2 are different. 

Are these an ok brand? I am not going to use them, but they are in amazing shape, if a little dusty. 

Thanks for your time.

Penn makes great stuff.  Some of those reels are used around the great lakes.  I run my half cores of lead on Penn 309's that are probably older than I am.
