info Bronson Silver Princess 3700
Need info on this reel. Age? Value? also Bronson Spartan 3500
Both reels are referenced in Antique & Collectible Fishing Reels, 2nd ed. by Jellison & Homel (1999).
The 3700 Jeweled Baitcaster(c.1931) $15-30 good/vg - excellent.
The 3500 Jeweled Sparton - $18-35, good/vg - excellent.
Vintage for the Sparton not given. My guess is late 40's,50's.
Hope this helps.

Which one?
I have actually seen at least three different quality level Bronson reels with the Silver Princes name - from a very early heavy "spiral-graphic" patterned version with six-sided end caps and the old "lever" click to a semi-ornate model with a sandwiched black plastic head ring to a rather plain "newer" version with not much special at all - The prices goes up as the age goes up - $60-$70 plus for the very early version, $45 ish for the middle version and down to $10 - $15 for the newest version. That's my experience, anyway. There could be even more versions.
