Hello. I'm looking to get some info on some pieces that my grandfather gave me. I have two spinning reels and two vintage rods from the 60's as well as some wooden lures. I made a video to showcase the items. If anyone has any fun facts or info about the items please let me know.
Here is my video: https://youtu.be/2e61yAF9F54

Re: Garcia Mitchell 314 and Daiwa 403 spinning reels
The Daiwa 403 is from around 1980. Not much resale value, maybe $10-$15.
The Garcia Mitchell 314 would be from 1960ish-1972 with an average resale value in the $25-$35 range. It and the 304 were popular lower priced Mitchell reels. The serial # and anti reverse lever width are indicators of early or possibly later production.

Love those Open Face Spinning Reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco)

Re: Garcia Mitchell 314 and Daiwa 403 spinning reels
The Lucky Strike Submarine (valve on the belly) is collectible right now. A few Ontario collectors are looking for them. Value depends on colour and condition but I think they are available locally for $10-$15 each. The River-Runt like baits may be by AL&W, in which case the right colour brings a few more dollars. The spoons bring $5-$10 each. The blade with the red painted back may be an older piece and there may be a name on the blade worth looking at. Coincidentally I met the grand daughter of Bill Edgar on Sunday. Bill is the founder of Lucky Strike and often comes to the local collector shows.
