Help with value William Mills Intrinsic

Post by George LeRay »

Good morning, can someone help me value this William Mills Intrinsic? It is uncleaned, definitely needs lube, spins rough. Foot is aluminum, it looks original but is bent up. Also has Aluminum spool.

You did not mention the Aluminum handle. Nice example of an early tournament reel. That reel should really clean up nicely.

Your reel was made by Geo. Gayle & Son for William Mills & Son. If it were in excellent condition, it would sell over $1k. In its present condition, maybe a little less.
