A friend of mine told me about this forum and I am glad he did. What a wealth of information and sharing that goes on here.
I have an old fly reel that is in excellent condition and I am trying to assess the value of it. It was traded to me as a partial payment for a rod I restored, and it is a really sweet little reel. I have no idea when Orvis quit making it, but this one operates like new. It is a 3/4 wt Multiplier that appears to turn the spool 1.5 times per handle revolution. It has an extra spool and what appears to be the original case for the reel. I know that someone on this board is bound to be familiar with it and can give me a general idea of its value, or even if it has any value! Here are a couple of pictures of the reel, spool and carrying case. Thank you in advance for any information that you may be able to share.
I wouldn't consider that to be an "old reel". I doubt if it is more than 20 years old. I will have to check my catalogs and see if I can find out the years that it was made.
These reels appeared in the 1994 and 1995 catalogs. Price was $145 in 1994. They appear to have been replaced with a somewhat different design in 1996.
