Very true...anywhere from $25 to over $200 these days. I remember back a few years ago, a mint never used 1494 in the older maroon box from the early 30's went for $800+

I got lucky recently and won an old "new" 1495 in the box for just over $50 could have easily gone for more. It had the date of inspection stamped on the box...1948. It's been waiting 60 years to be fished and it finally will.

To convert the 1494's and up that were manufactured prior to 1959-60 to left hand wind, you will need a reversible drag plate from One Pfoot.
