So I inherited my grandfathers house when he passed away and he left me everything. He was an avid collector of reels and rods for over 30 years. I found some of these cleaning out his room. They worth anything? I don’t fish at all so I planned on selling them to people who use them. Any advice is appreciated. Will update post with more things I find.

Those medalists are soooooo nice
I want one for my redone heddon bamboo rod
Those pfleuger medalists are legit. I’ve got one as a family heirloom that I cycle through my creek rod collection. Would love another, would be happy to buy one from you
Those are pretty. Other people on this sub will have value info, but I love that green reel (I can’t tell what it is).
Good luck, and if you think of a price on that green, let me know.
For sale ?
How much are you looking for them?
I still have, and use, 2 of these.
Are they better, or as good as, modern machined reels? No.
But do they catch fish? Yes.
What they say is :
“Look at me.
I’m cheap.
I’m old.
And I catch fish.”
I learned to FF with an old medalist
Jesus, this is going to be my kids one day.
So, there’s a couple MIA models in there and a couple of later Japanese and Chinese ones. None appear to be the most valuable models (round guards and/or no drag).
They all have a certain nostalgic flair, even the Chinese ones.
This is probably the best written resource you can find on them: https://www.flyanglersonline.com/features/oldflies/part287.php
Ebay’s your friend. Go get some.
