What do you all think a Hardy St. John reel is worth --- this thing is old, used and still in pretty good shape. I don't know how old it is, but probably purchased in the 1950's.

A lady walked into the fly shop today while I was getting supplies -- I kind of knew her and her husband - who recently passed away. I couldn't stay long enough to see all the things she had but what I say caught my interest. She wants to get rid of her husbands "stuff" which included this big Hardy St. John reel and several original Hardy boxes -- I don't know where the other Hardy reels went, but she had about 4 original boxes and reel cases for Hardy reels. I am guessing this reel is worth about $300 but really have no idea. The empty boxes may be worth quite a bit also.
