Answer
The Great Lakes Whirlaway rod/reel combination is collectable. On the early version, the handle slides from back to the side of the ball. The later version has a fixed handle on the side.

The values are roughly $25 to $125, with the high end value including the original box. So most are in the mid range. (If its not near perfect, values drop quickly).
