Had a change to get a hold of three pristine 4600 reels. I cannot find anywhere on the reels where the ratios are located. One is a 4600C1, and the other two are 4600C4. Can someone tell me? Thanks.

Not sure but put a piece of tape on the spool and count the rotations per handle turn and you'll have your gear ratio.
If it's a new 4600 C4 that is blue it has a 6.3:1 and retrieves 30 inches of line. I can't even find any 4600 C1 anywhere. But they do have a 4600 C3 and it's 5.3:1 at 25 inches per turn. Hope this helps
These reels are 30+ years old. thanks for the info.

I'll keep looking, but as of now I can't find anything on the reels going back that for.

4600c4 were 6.3. The oldest 4600 were 4.7, later were 5.3. The 5.3 usually says high speed on it somehwhere
