This was my grandfather's reel, found it in our basement. Still has the box and all the papers to go along with it. Have no idea how much its worth, contacted many people, never heard back from them. So i thought you guys could help me out. Here's some pics of it. It's an Abu mitchell 304 spinning reel. Code#1105 . Have no idea how old it is.

If more pics needed let me know

Whatever you do DON 'T FISH WITH IT !, it 's a 50 years old reel in mint or NIB condition.

How much is worth ? anywhere from 50+ dollars and a collector can pay a lot more than that given the condition, has paperwork, has box, has everything a collector would want.

Not bad for a basement finding.  

 Bassmaster magazine does a monthly section on what vintage items sell for.

That might give you a ballpark idea.

Cool. I had one of those when I was a kid. The right collector will give you a lot more than 50 bucks for it if it's in the condition it appears to be. Don't use it!!

Cheers,

GK

I seen the blue 408 version go for over $200.00 on eBay.  Don't sell it....hang on to it for another 20+ years and then sell it.  You'll be glad you waited.
