Is this worth anything?
So i found this old school mitchell spinning reel tucked away in the attic in its original box and i guess it was my grandpa's from back in the day and he never used it. Can anyone tell me how old it is? Just curious, thanks!http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...9ec3fe8aca.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15...4ad3ee2a01.jpg

If d a vintage fishing gear forum and ask there. Don't ask about value. Learn a little about your grandpas shared passion and what they collectors think about the reel.
|
Take a look on ebay and see what recent sales have been. I suspect that it will be worth more to you as your grandfather's reel than you would be able to get for it by selling.

;) It might be kind nifty to actually fish it and catch a few fish with it. Then you can say you fished with your grandpa's reel.
|
Never planned on selling it, but as i read how i wrote my post i can see how that can be interpreted. Hes the one who got me into fishing and i will foreve be grateful for it. I dont plan on using it, but as Pinhead said it would be pretty cool to catch some fish with it. When i was referring to worth, it was more so asking if it was a prominent reel of the time or something cutting edge when it was made.

Look for a rod of the same vintage to pair up with it.

I caught my first and only blackfin tuna from my kayak with one :)

It kinda looks like a 302, but I don't see a model number. 302s were made from 1953 - 1977. Following is a list of Mitchell model numbers, production years and production numbers you can refer to. There should be a model number somewhere on the reel or box.
