I'm not a metalurgist, but the housing is a thicker gauge and appears to be less corrosive then the newer.

The quality of the metal looks identical, bronze main gear, stainless steel pinion and shaft. Those are the key internals. The crosswind block and antireverse ratchet are either brass or bronze, and the antireverse dog is stainless.

The sideplate is made of steel on the Greenie and not plastic like the newer Penn.

I get alot of compliments when I fish with the Greenies.
