Oiler help

Post by oxleyatx »

Would someone be able to help me with some oilers that I have located? I know nothing about them or their respective values.

Thanks,

Terry

I have a budding collection over the last 8 years or so - what do you have, what conditions, and photos make all the difference in the world.

Oilers with known reel maker names are generally more valuable; marked oilers in general are more valuable than unmarked.

I have paid from $5 to $50+ depending. Without more detail, that's about all I can offer.

Len is correct that we need to see your oilers to evaluate them. I collected oilers 10-20 years ago, but have not kept up with values since selling my collection. I did get about $250 each for a couple of brass oilers with a replica of that Belgian statue of that little boy peeing as the spout. And that was 15+ years ago. I heard another one sold for over $400 several years ago.
