Value for A.H. Fox Gun Co. 300 yd Reel ?

Post by Ray Hencken »

Can anyone opine on the value of an A.H. Fox Gun Co. Philadelphia, PA 300 yd Salt Water reel. The reel is 3 1/2" in diameter, spool width 2", 2 3/4" from the front plate to the rear plate. It has an anti-reverse, free spool, star drag, and an on/off click. It is in at least Ex- condition. Everything works as it should. Pictures are attached. If anyone can use it for their collection, I am open to an offer.

This is a well made and underrated surf reel from the 1920s. There are about a dozen models of Fox saltwater reels and this is one of the nicer ones. I've seen them sell for as low as $15 and as high as $75. Most sell in between. Drop me a PM if you'd like further info.
