old fishing equipment

Question
I have 10 wooden fishing lures,3 reels(fly fishing),3 (backpack)rods, and a metal tackle box that belonged to my father and grandfather - some perhaps as early as 1920's.  What is my best bet for getting these appraised to sell?  example:  1. Chief Dowagiac Snarl Free No. 4 reel and 2. Heddon Dowagiac down facing game fish minnow box + lure.  Thank you.

Answer
Pam,
I do evaluations for free on bamboo fly rods. Pictures to [email protected]

You could advertise for an appraisals at Clarks

Orvis recommends the following for bamboo rods. If these two can't appraise your specific fishing gear they know who does. Len really knows his way around vintage fishing gear.
