Steve,
This is from a RHW person -- who has watched a lot of reels sell over the last year. It seems to me that LHW reels in the pre-war rare models, Hardy Perfects, St G, Dingleys, sell at a 40 to 60% premium over RHW reels. Select models may go even higher. Even early post war Hardys seem to sell at similar premiums. Some other models, such as the Pflueger Medalist from the 30's sell at even higher premiums to RHW. Several of the forum members mention fishing both LHW and RHW so they can enjoy the reels in their collections. Good luck -- and consider practicing your RHW. Dennis |
