antique reel

Question
I have an antique reel, it says H.J. Frost & Co., N.Y.Pat. Nov. 19, 07 It is aluminum, seems to work fine, rewinds, says "Kelso automatic"
Can you tell what the value is or where tosell other than e-bay?
Thank you.

Frost was a jobber/wholesaler, not a tackle manufacturer.  Condition is very important to reel collectors. If its not near mint condition, value drops quickly. Also, if you have the original box, etc is important.

Therefore I would put it in the reel in the $25 to $50 range depending on condition.

you could offer it for sale at a fishing reel collectors site.
