Are old Alvey reels worth anything?
Hey all, i know a few people with old school Alvey reels, they look atleast 30-40 years old (possibly older). They are all need work if you wanted to use them. Is it worth spending the money to clean them up?

No, I wouldn't bother inless they are of sentimental value to you. The newer models are much better so people just buy them. If they were 100 yo then maybe worth something, great reels thoughHarisPilton wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 11:44 amHey all, i know a few people with old school Alvey reels, they look atleast 30-40 years old (possibly older).

From what I know a few years ago they did. But an influx of orders and a new backer saved them.jimmy_jack wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 12:49 pmSomebody correct me if I'm wrong but didn't alvey shut down last year?

Depends on where you sell them, the alvey anglers australia facebook group is good at pricing
No they didnt shut down they where close but a giant influx of orders and a new person saved them, they have now expanded into the usa market and the spinning reel market with the alvey orbiter line.

Not for cleaning up and using but a large old wooden Alvey in good condition is worth some serious money as are very collectable.
