Help with Reels Please

Post by DavidGrier »

Good afternoon members,

I am seeking some indication of value of a couple of items I have tasked with selling for my friend's deceased estate.

1. Otto Zwarg St.Petersburg FLA Maximo 600 - 4/0 S/N C-8
2. Penn 50yr Comm Reel Mint in Presentation box.
3. A massive JA CoxeBig Game Reel 12/0 circa 1936/37 a beautiful piece.
4. Penn 75yr Comm Reel Used in Presentation box.
5. Lawrence Tibbett's custom "Errol Bullen/Atalanta" Big Game Reel with 1933 letter to new owner.

Any help greatly appreciated because I am in deep water.

David

Those are some really nice reels! Others will know more than me about the values, but you will get a lot of interest from collectors.
Wanted: Horton, Bristol & Meek reels, reel boxes, and catalogs!!!!

David,

I am not an expert on Penn reels however...........

The Otto Zwarg is worth $300 to $400 if it is in great condition.

Was the Coxe made in Los Angeles California or Bronson Michigan? It makes a big difference in the price. Both are valuable but the Los Angeles reel would be worth more.

The Errol Bullen reel is quite valuable but there were a few different sizes and models. I would need to see pictures to be able to help you with that reel.

Can you post pictures on this site?

Let us know.
