Hardy Zane Grey & Hardy big game rod

Post by Paul M »

From an inquiry on the ORCA Facebook page while Cameron is trying to register for Reel Talk.
———————
Hi
I'm writing from Australia I have a 6" Zane grey reel with the hardy bros rod big game series. The reel is in very good condition with all tools optional case in very good condition and original line. The rod is in original condition bindings have come loose but cane is in tack hardy bros on the guide....
and am trying to get some guidance as to the best market place or a collector that may be interested.
This is a unique opportunity as this had been in my family from original purchase.

If you are able to assist with some guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Attached are a couple of picture ms if the reel



Many thanks

Nice reel , get hold of Freemans angling auctions in England things do pretty well there. Or do some research figure out a price and sell it to someone here on the board. Cheers

Nice reel with some of the goodies. You're looking in the neighborhood of $5,000 +/-.

Cameron, you are welcome. I think it would be nice to see more pictures of the reel to see the cosmetic condition. Also you said there is a big game rod and some folks here would be interested in seeing pictures of that too.
