The truth sometimes is a problem! dont plan on buying a new car or for that mater even much of a used one with the selling of you tackle: Unless ( grandpaw never used the items , they are just so much common items, the FIX in Ben Wrights book and Lawsons thrid edition $30.00 to $60.00 and thats for real nice to new, as for the Knobby, $7.00 to $35.00 if new in the box a very common reel! 1893 Pfluger $5.00 to $35.00 if new in the box, as for the rods well either use them to fish with or average price around $3.00 to $16.00 , Now at the show this past week, those rods were hard pressed to bring much over $5.00 those reels ie the Pflugers 1963 knobbys on average used if the bearing caps are good and good handles $5.00 to $14.00, 18.93 Pflugers with good bearing caps and Handles $3.50 to $8.00, you may be farther ahead selling them at a yard sale or newspaper add, The E-Bay flea market? Rods cost money to ship and the listing fees with photos will cost you money if it dont sell or bring a decent price, You may want to list them in The ORCA site in wanted or for sale however be resonable! Or just clean them up and remeber grandpa and hand them down to your youngsters! Col. Milton Lorens aka SWIM JIG your OHIO CONNECTION
