fishing gear anyone know there stuff ? malloch of perth brass reels

Hi im guessing if you have opened this you will know a lot more about fishing gear than me !!!!
my grandad left me a couple of reels and its time i passed them on to someone who may use them .

just want some advice as to the value etc
thanks DTD

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)…
