Does anyone know about a Pezon&Michel reel I own?

I have had in my possession for years now a French Pezon & Michel reel,model LEXOR,year unknown,not found on reel. The reel body is a flat grey with a stainless steel handle and guts with a black rubber handle in perfect shape.
It also has printed on it "Made in France-Brevete S.G.D.E." and "LICENSE P. MAUBORGNE". Has a stamp "A" by a screw and french words I believe to lock and unlock the body with a large flat grey screw knob. Checking
the reel ratings I believe it should be a A6 or A7, in pretty good shape overall. Works perfectly. I do have digital photos of it but cannot download onto this page.
Any feedback would be appreciated or where I can go to get it valued. I reside in NH. Thank you.

Luxor.
Don't claim to be an expert on these, but do have a couple of examples, a very nice boxed full-bail reel with papers, and a very fun half-bail reel on an ultralight fiberglass rod.
I also think there were 3 sizes (?), designated by letters - hence the A, the smallest size. The larger sizes are a bit more rare, especially the big salt water size.
I would think that Ben Wright's book would tell you more about these than you ever wanted to know, including values.

MR. BIG,
YOUR LUXOR REEL DEPENDING ON MODEL AND CONDITION COULD BE WORTH FROM $ 50-$150.00. I RECENTLY SOLD A CREAMPUFF MINUS HANDLE FOR $150.00. HOPE THIS HELPS. GOOD LUCK
