Montgomery Ward Fly Reel #V 60-6449: Value & History

Question
i have a montgomery ward fly reel #v 60-6449 hawthorne made in usa in box with original paperwok plus steamline silk package and parts is it worth any thing

Answer
Tim,

Montgomery Wards didn't actually make fishing tackle, your reel was probably made by Shakespeare Tackle Company. Montgomery Ward carried mostly low to medium quality fishing tackle made in high volume. This impacts collector interest.

Your reel with the original box would sell for between $10 to $25 depending on condition. (Without the original box the reel is $5 tops and would be hard to sell.)

Keep me in mind if you have any old fishing lures for sale.
