4 fishing reels like to know values and #rs


Question
Hi I picked up a box of fishing reel's about 2 years ago and have 4 of the reels in a table as a decoration piece and was wondering if you could tell me if they have any value and possibly how meany were made they are all in grate shape and still work.the first one is a Pflueger Akron this is located on the right side of the baitcaster surrounded by a upside down triangle model #1893L beneath that it says made in the U.S.A. the reel is covered in decorative etching. On the left it has a series of patented #r's 841,796/ 1,450,738/ 1,637,437/ 1,691,622 under all that it say's patent's pending. on the bottom of the seat mounts it has a B and is screwed on.

 The next is a 1930 Shakespear hydro-film control, direct drive model EC it has all this on the right with a boxed letter S at the upper part of the side over the Handel. Its shaped like a tear drop and the Handel grips looke like there made out of ivory and on the bottom of the reel mount say's made in U.S.A.
  The other Two are Red Ambassadeur's one is a 6,00 on the left In block letter's it has Ambassadeur under that 6000 under that it say,s ABU with Sweden beneath that it also the reel alarm on it as well as the ones listed above it has a serial # etched on the seat along with the #r's 127102 stamped on it.
  The other red ABU is a 5,000 on the right it has ABU in block lettering arched over Ambassadeur written incursive. At the bottom No.5,000 Abupabriken Svangsta Sweden the bottom of the reel seat the #r's 284682.
  I got all those along with some old Zebco 33's and an 808 But all the reel's are in good shape and even work.I know this is alot to ask for but I would appreciate the Help Maybe I get something here if not it was still 5.00 well spent for my collection. Thank You  

Answer
Hello

the Pflueger and Shakespeare reels are common, middle of the line reels in their day. They run $5-10 each today, some interest from collectors if you have the original box.

the Ambassadeur reels are higher quality reels. They run in the $25 to $50 range depending on condition. Condition is important, if the finish is worn, they will run at the lower end. Mint with the original box/case the will run higher than my estimate.
