Info - Age & Value of a Quick Stationary Drum Bait Casting Reel

[Ray Hencken]

Can anyone assist with the age and value of this spinning reel that I recently found. I am somewhat familiar with Quick spinning reels but this is one that I have never seen before. That's not surprising since I concentrate on early American fly reels. Everything on the reel works as it should, anti-reverse switch, drag, and strong bail spring. Pictures are attached.

Since it has "Stationär Rolle Quick Standard D.A.M. Berlin SW68" on the body, smooth rotor cup and round handle knob it was made in '52/53 time frame. Later, i.e. '54/55, had a knob with two flat sides and the '56 has a textured cup just like the body and red plastic drag knob. '56 was the last version. The condition looks pretty good so, currently, in that condition, I would estimate somewhere between $35 to maybe $60 on a good day, plus shipping.
