Value of Vintage Martin Automatic Fishing Reel (1892)
Question
I have a Martin Automatic Fishing Reel Size No. 3 in the box with the instruction manual. It was manufactured in Mohawk, NY and marked July 26, 1892. Can you tell what the value is?
Answer
Susanne,
These reels sell for $30-40 if the reel and box are in excellent condition. the marking relates to the original patented date, but the reels were manufactured into the 50s.
regards
Bob
Keep me in mind if you have any old fishing lures, etc for sale.
