I doubt they have any more than curio value I am afraid.
A quick google gave me this http://www.vintagefishingtackle-uk.com/mallochreels.htm
Seem to be worth a hundred or three
Cant tell size by the pics, but the Sun and Planet trout reels by Malloch fetch over £200.
presumably you have already googled the name and discovered PD Malloch is still trading as a shop in Perth, although it is a trading name of another firm now.
And they are probably worth something.
thank you all 😀
Shows what I know 🙂
My dad got over £700 for a vintage fixed spool reel that went to Italy over eBay.
there's some nuts collectors out there for classic fishing brands.
(Goes to dig all my dad's old fishing gear out - I had wrongly assumed it would be relatively worthless)...
