Horrocks Ibbotson No. 181 Salt Water Reel


Question

Horrocks Ibotson No. 1
I have a reel that looks new, or near new.  The reel has the H-I logo.  The box describes it as:

DOLPHIN
SALT WATER REEL
No. 181
250 Yds.
STAR DRAG
BAKELITE SPOOL
H-I
HORROCKS-IBBOTSON CO.
UTICA, N.Y.

Do you have any information on this?  Is it anything special, or just an old reel?

I have attached a picture.

Thank you.

-Ron

Answer

Fishing reel values today relate well to their original cost. The high quality, expensive reels in the past command the high values today.

Unfortunately H&I was a high production lower cost manufacturer.

Your reel is a nice piece with the original box. I would estimate it would sell at an auction for around $15-$30.

Regards
