Fishing reels were not the only products of the Andrew B. Hendryx Company. Animal and bird cages were major sources of revenue. People collect those. One possible reason for recent increases in value is their increased demand for use in stage productions. These examples show cages used by two different singers in a production of Rossini's opera,
Ciro in Babilonia .

Got a spare reel stamped "Pflueger" or a Montague Imperial?

This Hendrix thinks the company spelled its name wrong but he also wants to order one of those cool birdcage crowns.

Those cages also come in handy for productions of Bellini's
I Puritani .
