Bruce, I think that's a pretty tough Pflueger reel although I'm not sure many non-Pflueger reel collectors may think it's anything very special. I've always thought this was because many of these reels look similar with small variations, like the foot, name, etc. (but of course, that's why we are collectors, right?)

One sold on ebay a while back but can't remember what it sold for. I seem to recall someone offering one to me that was in 8/8 shape in the $150-200 range. I suppose the right Pflueger collector might give you more?
