Hardy uniqua fishing reel

Question
I recently purchased a Hardy fishing reel that states patent uniqua reel with an plaque on it stating "made for the Winchester co new York NY"  I was told that the gentleman who had owned it died in 1953.  I also purchased with it alot of wood fishing lures and silver and brass spinners.  Can you please help with the approximate age and value of the reel to make sure I did not overpay?

Answer
I believe most of these were made in the 20s and 30s. They normally run in the $150 - 200 range. But, depends on the exact model, size, etc.

Also, there is an organization called ORCA that specializes in fishing reels. (Search on ORCA fishing reels)

Are the lures available? If yes, drop me a photo.
