I could sure use some help on a value of this Shakepeare Russell No. 1896 Model 32.
The agate in this reel is perfect and the reel is as smooth as can be. I appreciate all thanks Richard

Richard -
These early Model 32s in the various sizes 1892, 1896 etc, show up so infrequently that it will be tough to gauge a value. I keep an eye out for these and have only seen 3 or 4 in the last 3 years combined....all sizes.... They are a great reel and incredibly smooth with this style check, and I dare say at least as nice as the same vintage Medalist.....at least IMHO. It's the sad truth though that they are not worth that much to all that many collectors or users of classic tackle, when compared to their British counterparts from the same vintage. I won't even throw out a $ figure because in my opinion it is a shame how under valued these early Russells are, but I'm happy to own a little sibling 1892 like your reel

Something to consider: Be willing to share photos, information and the knowledge you have about your collection with anyone that has an interest in learning...........also share your knowledge to answer questions that others may have about items in their collections.........doing this will make you feel good and benefits this community ..................after all, what good is having knowledge that isn't shared.

I always wonder what my factory LH baby 1892 agate is worth.
