QuestionI have several old reels from my Grandfather or Great Grandfather and would like to know approximately what they might be worth. one is a Pflueger Rocket No 1355 with the big clicker lever on top. It is all polished chrome and in near mint condition. Another is a No. 1970 President from Shakespeare, Stainless Steel model GD. It has what looks like a cream colored hard rubber or plastic inlay around both sides of the reel, with one side about twice the size of the other. The third reel is 1922 Wondereel DeLuxe by Shakespeare, Nickel Silver Model GE with original leather case that has a brass latch on front and contains the plastic container of spare parts and wrench and also original reel oil bottle. It has the handles and ring around the reel that looks like a camo pattern plastic and is in near mint condition. I also have several vintage lures including many Bombers, Hellbenders and some I can't identify. I have 3 perfect C.C.B. CO. lure boxes and may have the lures but can't identify if they belong to the boxes. One is a Creek Chub "Midget Darter" Yellow Spotted No. 8014, one is a Creek Chub "Floating Injured Minnow" Redside No. 1505, and the other is a Creek Chub "Floating Injured Minnow" Golden Shiner No. 1504. Any help or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Scott
Answerscott,
The rocket is pretty common, would run about $20 in the condition described.
The President is better quality reel, $30-40.
The Wondereel delux reel, $15-20 since you have the original case.
Can you send photos of the lures?
Midget Darter - $5-10
Injured Minnows $20-30
